Hi Jos/Tahir ,
I am not interested in a flame war here.
Wine is a LGPL licensed free software.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software) )
I will paste a line from my blog here
" Win32 API is a capable API and it's availability in Linux is a good
migration path to linux. " ( I think WineLib will help people to port their
existing app to be ported to Linux and release under GPL!!! )
I come for User group meeting ( developer stream ) and has educated people
about writing software for Linux. (It is not just talk about Licensing alone
....!!! )
I want Linux to succeed to liberate ourselves from Vendors like Microsoft.
Any one who ignores Windows ( it is a necessary evil ) will be an
impoverished programmer and can harm the aspirations of people who depend upon
them. (our kids,siblings and parents might not share the same zeal regarding
the Free Software movement )
Let us contribute some thing to the Free Software and talk about Freedom later.
regards
Praseed Pai
PS :- if this is axed , freedom of expression is denied. I will be forced to
call this group is for people who are not interested in Computer Programming.
