Most people that actually contribute with the exception of
Codeweavers and a few others have allowed Rewind to use
their code effectively placing it under the X11 license.

What do YOU say now?

Another intresting fact is that Alexandre ranked the
contributors with 1-3 according to his subjective view
on the amount of contribution and the statistics clearly
showed the people that was ranked high was more likely
to prefer the X11 license. That is also quite intresting.
