Download the free trial, if it works for you then pay the modest price
and spend the rest of the money you would have spent on another Wodniws
licence on beer/gadgets/powertools etc. Usual disclaimer.

If it uses WINE which is GPL then doesn't that mean cross-over must also be
GPL.
Ask them for the source and compile it for free.
If its GPL they have to make the source freely available.

I really really don't want to start a GPL licensing thread :-) but if
you check WINE's licence at http://www.winehq.com/site/license you'll see
that it uses the LGPL, which allows it to be linked into a larger product
without the larger product being GPL'd itself.

And as you can see he
http://source.winehq.org/git/?p=wine...=codeweaver s
they are still contributing a vast number of fixes back into the Open
Source version of WINE.

ObDIY: I've no axe to grind ...
