I think that Transgaming actually forked Wine before it became GPL-licensed. IIRC they were also not really contributing much back (at least in the Cedega times). [1] This was a screenshot of my machine in 2004, running Microsoft Office under Wine under NetBSD's Linux emulation: https://www.netbsd.org/gallery/in-Action/daniel-cxoffice.jpg https://www.netbsd.org/gallery/in-Action/daniel-cxoffice.jpg

- SXX 9y agoCodeWeavers state on their website it's 2/3 of the Wine commits made by their developers and I pretty sure it's true. At least most of complex features such as D3D11 support implemented by them.
