Hello All,

Here is my proposal...

1) a token monetary fee of around $10,000 per year.
2) at least 1,000 lines of code or some major contributions to documentation.
3) a link back to winehq.org from there site and not twenty pages into
there site.
4) a clear and thought out business plan (there company goal) and have
links to it.
5) they agree to be bound by the LGPL license and to give back all
code changes that apply under this license.
6) anyone found in contempt of the LGPL will be banned from all future
winehq.org listings.
7) if a banned party wants re-instatement they must pay a fine of
$25,000 and post a written apology to the community for there actions.
8) each party should contribute to the "Wine party fund" to fund
future Wineconf's.
