[newbie] Wine and Win licensing
Hi, IANAL-s :-) There is an old Win95 comp in my network. Legal setup. Now I want to run a Windows program (certain bookkeeping soft) in a Linux box in the same network using Wine. Is it legal to point Wine Windows folder to this Win95 box using Samba? Or is it compulsory to use only Wine versions of DLLs. It works well technically, I have tested it. But I want to know, whether my current setup is legally valid. Wahur Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Wahur You need to re-read the EULA for this. You only have it installed on one box, so it may be, but certainly on later apps M$ say that you may not use them networked, so you may be caught out on that one.
