This whole problem would just go away if non-free weren't part of the
archive.
And as mentioned before (by Joseph Carter), if WineX gets installed in
Debian, it's likely that Transgaming would just change their license to
disallow distribution of later versions, which would make the WineX
package rapidly obsolete and rather useless.

tried but failed.
Incidentally I said the a similar to people who wanted to copy my Loki
CDs: "Buy it yourself."
