[OT] is wine completely legal (and will it stay so) ?

[hatky]

Wine is not under any control of microsoft because it
has not code from microsoft.

If reimplemnting an api would be ileagle all the
emulators would be ileagle thats more then 50 programs
some of them commercel.

I do not think microsoft can do anything about it.

Anyway this subject belongs to wine-licence at winehq.com
