--- Comment #2 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

if you search patent databases you'll find a lot more patent application
filings linked to Wine and WinCE/ARM:

CN102364433B "Method on ARM processors Wine build tools transplant"

CN102364442A "Method for transplanting Wine from x86 to advanced risc machine
(ARM) platform"

CN102331968A "WINE (wine is not an emulator) compatibility automatic checking
method on OMS (open mobile system) platform"

CN102364435A "Method for realizing application program interface (API) of
WinCE"

CN102393816A "Full-screen display method for WinCE (Windows CE) applied on OMS
(open mobile system)"

CN102331927A "Method for integrating soft keyboard input of Wine and Android
mobile phone"

CN102364434A "Method for integrating Wine and Android mouse input"

CN102331928A "Method of source code level compatible hybrid API (application
programming interface)"

Various patent applications claim to use parts/concepts of Wine (of course
'tailored' to the actual use case).

One could probably dig up hundreds of such patent applications linked to the
Wine project, given enough time.

Regards
