This is *very* hard to believe.

Yes, Jeremy said something in October.


In October 2000.

Around that time he talked to me repeatedly that he's not sure whether the
current Wine license is ok and that he's thinking rather often of whether a
*GPL (!) license would be better.

I'm not much in favour of a license change (at least *never* without a
lot of consideration !), but your kind of comments certainly kind of
start to p*** me off.

Oh, and rest assured that I for one don't care at all about whether you
go the VMWare route or not.

One last good hint to you:
find another "suitable" license to actually *promote* for Wine use
instead of continually fighting your GPL wars.
(since *GPL seems not to be a perfect solution to just about everything)

Thanks for listening.
