I have no ill-will towards Transgaming at all. I am unhappy with what
they did to DirectX development, I make no mystery of that. I am also
very grateful for all the code they have contributed, and I'm
convinced they want to do the right thing for Wine; both Gav and Ove
certainly have the track record to prove that. I'm not in any way
trying to take revenge on them or anything like that, as you seem to
think.

I do what I do because I believe it's the best for Wine, *despite* the
fact that it may hurt Transgaming. I take no pleasure in hurting them,
and I'm pushing for them to change their model precisely because I
would prefer to be able to help them at the same time that I'm helping
Wine. But my responsibility is with Wine, and when there's a conflict
between what's good for Wine and what's good for Transgaming, I have
to put Wine first. I don't think that should come as a surprise to
anybody.
