I have been considering doing this with changes for Lineage 2. I am 
trying to figure out how to go about all this legally without getting in 
some form of trouble.

 From what I gather I need to include documentation on every file I have 
changed.

I included cvs -u diff, marked it in readme what files were changed. I 
also plastered notes all over the actual changed files. I have as well 
included the unmodified files in its own directory so whoever uses it 
can revert it to unchanged cvs. I also have included ALL of the licence 
agreements that are surrounding WineX in there so you have to see all 
that before you actually enter the directory that the modified CVS is 
stored in. I have all old versions documented and what changes were 
done.  Screenshots of the game running in winex as well as a complete 
readme.

After discussing this with a few people on #winex I discovered I would 
need to have links to the latest CVS as well. is that correct? if so 
that would need to be put on the downloads page correct? That being said 
if you dont mind telling me what I would need to have put on there.

Also I was wondering if it was needed for me to have the TG agreement 
listed on my page that they had to click through to download so they 
would have to view it at least. Have links to latest CVS and My download 
behind that agreement. I just am not sure how to do all this.

As this is my first project I have ever done using works such as WineX, 
Anything else I did was 100% written myself so I did not have to worry 
about all this and I just gave it to people who needed it.

Thanks for letting me know what all needs to be done I just want 
everything to be legally correct dont want that kind of attention for my 
first project. I read the licence agreement and am never good at that 
kind of thing on how to comply with it. Its kinda cryptic somewhat and 
confusing at least to me it is.
