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.
'The Wine 5.0 update <https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob_plain/wine-5.0:/ANNOUNCE> takes advantage of this two-way street, introducing Portable Executable (PE) modules, which are built in the Windows binary PE file format that's used in executables and DLLs. According to Wine developers, now the "PE binaries are copied into the Wine prefix instead of the fake DLL files", making the prefix look "more like a real Windows installation, at the cost of some extra disk space."' Where do you think that PE stuff came from?
