Porting with Winelib

[Masahiko Hayashi]

Hi,

I am looking into good way to port Windows applications 
to Linux and hopefully any other Unixes.

I'd like to know about questions below.
If anyone answer them, I'd appreciate it.


1. Can I use Winelib to port commercial application 
     whose sources will be not disclosed ?

2. Is it possible to link Winelib statically with an application and distribute it ?

3. In case that I don't use Winelib and use Wine instead 
    to provide commercial application, 
    can we include Wine with the application to distribute ?

4. Does porting with Winelib still need to compile MFC ? 
    libmfc42.so still doesn't work ?

5. Can Winelib deal with other languages besides English 
     such as Japanese and German ?

6. How is printing ? Can we print from ported application like Windows ?

7. Is the license condition of Winelib is as same as the one of Wine ?

8. It might be a problem compiling MFC on Linux and 
    distributing it with an application 
    because of MS's MFC license condition, right ? 
    But there are companies have already ported their applications with Winelib. 
    How did they avoid this type of problems ?

9. Though I think I have read most of part in winehq.com and 
    have checked newsgroups using groups.google.com, 
    if there are good information about porting by Winelib I'd like to know.

10. Is there good way to provide Help system 
       with ported application like Widows Help ?
      

Thanks in advance!
