The real way to mount a revolt, of course, would be to fork wine and maintain a better version of it. The likelihood of that ever happening seems slim, but perhaps in 15 years, after HTML 5 takes over and users no longer run win32 apps, it's possible that something like that would happen

Hi Michael, Not that I have any problems with our benevolent overlords, and not that I would likely achieve franchise with a scant 2 patches under my belt, but I can't help wondering how such a revolt would succeed seeing as the only method to achieve franchise-hood is controlled by the same

As I said, our overlords are kind and benevolent and I'm sure that the mention of evil plans was simply a joke as such wise and noble developers could need harbor a malevolent thought. But, unless I've been misreading this mailing list, all patches have to go through our current enlightened

I'd like to start a separate thread on this subject, so we don't lose the chance to discuss this. I think it's a really good idea for us to join. Right now, I manage the finances for 'The Wine Project'. The money literally flows into my personal bank account; I registered a 'Doing Business As'
