Do these companies return their diffs to the main WINE source tree?
Please tell us about the relationship between these companies and the WINE open source community. Alexandre Julliard: (Disclaimer: I’m employed by CodeWeavers) CodeWeavers business model is to use Wine to build applications, so we benefit from having the standard Wine tree being as good as possible. So yes, CodeWeavers tries hard to return everything possible to the main tree. In fact, sometimes our work goes into the main tree even before being included in our customers trees. Transgaming is also returning a lot of things, and helping the project a lot; I think their business model is interesting, and I hope they can reach their subscription goal. My only problem with their approach is that by releasing part of their DirectX work for free, but not under an open-source license, they remove the incentive for people to improve the DirectX implementation of the standard Wine tree. They are planning to release everything back to Wine eventually, so things should work out well in the long-t
