I fail to see how the fact that the driver was written by a Rewind
supporter instead of a Wine supporter should make any difference from
Transgaming's point of view. And I personally don't see Wine as being
"against Transgaming", or Rewind as being "against Wine"; and if
that's how you see it I find that pretty sad. I also don't understand
how this method of holding code back and blackmailing other developers
can be considered a good thing either for Wine, or for Rewind, or for
Transgaming.
