Is it only because their plan failed that you object to it? 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. -- Alexandre Julliard [email protected]
