I'm still on the fence about CodeWeavers. A few great points have been made about the software which makes Windows emulation much, much easier but at the same time, their original code base came entirely from Wine; there's no GPL requirement to make it free, I kinda take the idea of using free code for profit as kind of a tightwad move.
But, they're free to do what they want with it, and this was not a bad move to at least give back to those who really jumped on the chance.
Codeweavers contributes a lot of code back to the community (ie: Wine's git tree) - and a few of the main Wine hackers are employed by Codeweavers (Alexandre and Jeremy at least).
