I think you misinterpreted me. The Wine coders are also interested in the 
results, having a working product. That's why they chose the LGPL. It 
ensures that all code modifications flow back, enabling a fast development 
of the code. If the folks where just interested in the jorney, they would 
have stayed with the X11 license.
