This is a valid concern. I think we may end up having to
deal with this by providing an easy, standard way to
install the most commonly needed, legally redistributable
dependencies. For instance, we might bundle a couple
of key demo apps with Wine; if we choose carefully,
we can probably find a set of apps that will just happen to
install all the commonly needed redistributables.
