WINE is not "sort of virtualization software". It is a native Linux 
implementation of the standard-documented Win32 API, combined with a 
program for loading Win32 executables. Don't know of any license issues 
at the WINE end of things - it's FOSS software.

It can run multiple Windows programs at the same time, but it's not 
running Windows.

I use IEs4Linux to run IE5, 5.5 and 6.0 under Linux. Works quite well. 
Other folk use WINE for running other Win32 programs under Linux.
