They will be changing the license terms. I'm sure it's under review, since
the borland forums are up in arms. As for wine, it's only the ide that
uses it, not the finished apps. The problem I have with kylix is
distributing apps, since you need about 8 megs of libraries. I've heard it
requires the particular version of qt that ships with kylix, so you end up
with a .tar.gz of 3+ megs that blows up to 8+ on install.

For those who are using kylix, try InstallMade, which makes a .tar.gz of
the finished project including autodetecting and packaging the required
libraries and links, etc.
