The purpose of this point is really dubious. No amount of "small" code in wine can warrant the modification of a standard license like the LGPL. There is already a large body of Wine code licensed under BSD, it's good enough. > 2.

This is a possibility -- it is significant enough to warrant the amendment of the LGPL. Whether it's a good amendment, I can't say now. -- Dimi.
