Don't get your hopes up (too much) though. They will have to rely on an open source reimplementation of Cocoa (e.g. Cocotron or GNUStep) to support GUI apps. These are a long way from providing a full implementation of the macOS frameworks. You cannot just take a random Objective-C or Swift macOS app and recompile it using these open source libraries. So, binaries is even much further away. Even Wine, which has seen two decades of development (including from companies such as CrossOver), only supports a small subset of Windows applications very well.
Of course, it might be possible to re-use macOS' frameworks, but Apple would probably sue anyone who tries to offer that into oblivion.
BTW. I think this is a great project, but there are some people who seem to be rooting for using this for running Creative Suite on Linux. That won't happen anytime soon, if ever. Wine is your best shot.
