http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29
   "... originally released Wine under the same MIT License as the X
   Window System, but owing to concern about proprietary versions
   of Wine not contributing their changes back to the core project,
   work as of March 2002 has used the LGPL"

If a wine user who doesnt like GPL, creates & uses send-pr for eg
  	emulators/wine-rewind
it could divorce lists from debating licence issue :-)
