 From Slashdot.

Wine now has big time lawyers on its side.
/
"For years there's been fear that the Wine Project <http://winehq.com/> 
would get sued by Microsoft at some point, and this fear has kept IBM 
and other major free software-using companies from participating openly 
in it. Now the Software Freedom Law Center 
<http://www.softwarefreedom.org/>, headed by Columbia University law 
professor Eben Moglen, is offering free legal services to Wine (and 
other FOSS projects) 
<http://trends.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/05/11/1328245&tid=147&tid=150&tid=37&tid=132> 
to allay corporate fears and head off potential lawsuits."
