Since wine 0.9 someone with "transgaming" in the author field got
3 patches into wine. They don't publish some of their source
and/or part of their published source is not under LGPL or
another free software licence (both is legally allowed in that
case).

You can install multiple Wine installations, a crossover install
and a cedega install on the same machine without problems (though
it's some time ago that I verified it for the later two).
