Well, from a philosophical standpoint I think the idea of a model that
helps the project in case of success and hurts it in case of failure
is flawed (and one of the nice properties of the *GPL licenses IMO is
that even failures benefit the project), but from Wine's standpoint I
would of course have no objections at all if they had reached their
goal.
