[Wuss912]

Or to have a setting like debian uses to allow the use of non-free
software

as far as i know, there are no stings attached to the cvs version of
wine since 
the copyright protection code is removed.

unfortunately the bean-counters have dollar counters (read lawyers)
those 
dollar counters think they can count more dollars is you distribute
their 
program improperly. that why it is to simple it just use the best tool
for the 
job. of course you can still do that, it's just that luanr can't
distrubte it 
for you.

btw, if one woulld show the appropriate licence, and let users agree to
this 
licence before installing a module, would this be sufficient for modules
like 
winex and vmware?
got to actually read those licences more cartefully
