From LinuxNews.com:
“The implementation of the Windows 3.x and Win32 API for X and UNIX allows most popular Intel UNIXes, including Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris, to run
unmodified Windows 3.1/95/NT binaries. “Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100
percent Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available,” Julliard explained on his Wine Web site. “Wine comes
with complete sources, documentation and examples and is freely redistributable. The licensing terms are similar to BSD [Berkeley Software
Distribution].””
