Wine is a reverse engineering of the APIs, not a blatant copy.
edit: Straight from Wikipedia: "Wine is predominantly written using black-box testing reverse-engineering, to avoid copyright issues.[4] [4] https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=37364#37364 https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=37364#37364 "
- Oletros 11y agoCan you explain us the difrerence between reverse enginerring Long _HTCTI(int param1) and Long _HTCTI(int WindowPosition) ? An API is an API and it will be the same if it is reverse engineered or copied the declaration. And Google didn't copied without permission Sun's code, they used Apache Harmony
- Zigurd 11y agoIncorrect. Wine is based on Windows documentation of Windows APIs. There is no practical way to "discover" an API.
- Zigurd 11y agoStill incorrect. The black box testing refers to testing of the implementation, not the API.
