CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello,
First, excuse me if my English isn't good.
So, I'm on linux, and your software is very interesting. However, he isn't open source. In your political pages, you say that you work with wine, and that you help wine. How do you give your work to wine ? Do you give the sources when a new release is done ?

I would like to know what are your relation with wine, and if you think that your software will become open source.

Thanks.

Bonjour,
Voilà, je suis sous linux, et j'ai regardé ce que donnait votre logiciel. Il est très intéressant, cependant, je note un bémol : il est non libre. Dans vos pages de politique, vous expliquez que vous travaillez avec wine, et que vous "revers[ez] l'ensemble de [v]otre travail au projet Wine". Par quel biais ce travail est-il reversé ? Est-ce que vous donnez votre code source à chaque nouvelle version ?

Je voulais donc savoir quels étaient vos liens avec wine, et si vous envisagiez de rendre le code source libre un jour (même si il continue de rester payant).

Merci d'avance,

Tobias.

We (CodeWeavers) are a (the) corporate sponsor of Wine. We host the site, we do a lot of the work and we employ a fair number of highly skilled Wine developers. Most of the work of the developers we employ goes to Wine first. Our value add to Wine is our product called CrossOver. We provide support for CrossOver and CrossOver is a more friendly user interface with Wine.

The source code that we provide on each release of CrossOver is available on our site:

CrossOver will not become open source, but Wine already is.
