they released it under the GPL several months ago.
somebody recently announced on debian-devel that they are packaging it for
debian, so it should be available in hamm (unstable) sometime in the
nearish future.
i haven't used it yet, but it sounds good. can run some/many Win apps
without having windows installed on the system. apparently it can't yet
run the big MS apps like Word or Excel.
