Well, this is the 'packaging' deal I was talking about (some SuSE
distributions came with CrossOver installed natively).
As for the proprietariness (?) of CrossOver, the 'core' of it (i.e. Wine) is
a modified version of Wine (so you can get the source for it as it is
LGPL'ed) but all the 'glue' around it (configuration file creation, pretty
UI to install application, desktop integration, ...) *is* closed source.
I was just reacting to your 'wholly' in your sentence as it's only 'partly'
closed source (a bit like QMEU actually :-) ).
And as they actually sell CrossOver (plus support / porting contracts) I did
not see this as 'sponsoring' (although for a Wine user / developper like me,
it looks like it as a LOT of patches to the Wine tree come from their
employees).
