Not correct. It's your business what you do with your app. But if you modify Wine itself in any way shape or form, you have to provide all such modifications as the source files / patches. So that anyone can take stock Wine, apply your patches, recompile it and have your app working with it.

As far as distribution - it's up to you how you doing it. You can redistribute compiled (binary) Wine anyway you'd like. Wine is made to run from it's own install directory. This way you can have multiple versions in use at the same time.
