Well, I am in favor of the LGPL for wine (although other licenses have
their own benifits).. But I'll play the devils advocate here snd point
that and Apple HAVE released the core BSD code for OS-X under their own
license. It's called 'Darwin'.

It's missing all the pretty GUI bits that Apple are still keeping to
themselves, but they HAVE open-sourced the kernel itself.
