It's 2 parts:

1. The closed source part is just some wrappers and some scripts (like
reboot), almost all of them are inside the "wine" binary. (all symlinked to
"wine" executable).

2. The other part is the lgpl'd wineHQ, with the usual binaries, with some
patches, and those patches are mostly inside the WineHQ tree.

Trust me, if it was illegal - then you would hear all the zealots of shout
about open source ;)
