GameRunner does make a good point. Most people run WINE so they can get a program limited to Windows running on their GNU/Linux machine. The majority of the time it is a non-free video game or program like Microsoft Office.

If you have the intention to run a free software/open source program designed for Windows, there's probably a version for GNU/Linux out there already.

In a way it reminds me of emulators. The program to do the emulation is free, but has the intention of running non-free programs. Sure, you can run homebrew games on your emulator, but 99% of the time it is used to emulate a proprietary game from the past via a ROM dump.
