Rather than people individually answering how each element of Wine is coded, how about this: the core wine system, including its regedit, notepad, etc applications are all written *for* wine by people with no access to comparative Microsoft code. I believe that last bit is Wine contribution policy: If you've seen copyright MS code, you're not allowed in to avoid copyright issues. I could be wrong - check the docs if you care. Apps you install on Wine (including IE) keeps its original copyrights and licenses. When you install IE, you're installing a Microsoft product it as you would on a Windows machine. License-wise, nothing changes so if the EULA says you can only run it on a genuine copy of Windows, you cannot install it under Wine and remain under the EULA. There *are* MS products with this clause in their EULA but it's your choice if you want to follow them... Or if they're even enforceable or not... Well... let's not get into that. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
