I agree. I'm pretty sure these are only redistributable under a license that
limits their use to Windows. Even if the limitation is illegal under
competition laws, this doesn't make it legal to distribute the files without
a license in terms that allow distribution in the particular circumstances.
It may be that installing IE under Wine at all is outside the IE license. The
situation may be different if it was originally installed under Windows and
the original Windows partition merely mounted to use it under Wine. Of course
I couldn't be bothered looking into this more closely because I'd rather not
invite all the security issues that come with running IE.
