| From: James Knott via talk <[email protected]> | Microsoft is working to improve Wine on Linux: | | https://www.zdnet.com/article/wine-for-running-windows-10-apps-on-linux-gets-big-upgrade/ | | And Android too: | | https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/01/21/windows-compatibility-layer-wine-hits-v5-0-on-android/ | | Micrsoft has certainly changed since Bill and Steve left.
Thanks for those links. Interesting. Maybe I'm missing something. I don't see anything in those articles about Microsoft contributing code to WINE projects. What I do see is that Microsoft has made a submission to the US Supreme Court, arguing against Oracle's lower court win against Google. That ruling decided that APIs were subject to copyright (disaster!). Microsoft argues: WINE and WSL show that free use of APIs can work as a win-win. This means that it will ill-become them to legally stomp on WINE. That's a Good Thing. But it isn't working to improve WINE. --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
