[Cedega|http://www.transgaming.com/products_linux.php] is a commercial spinoff of [Wine] made by a company called TransGaming designed to allow you to play [Windows] games using [Linux]. It uses a mapping of DirectX calls to native [OpenGL] ones to provide a fast rendering environment. There are a few games that do work correctly, but a larger number which do not. |

There is some controversy about the terms of the Cedega license; the code was forked from [Wine] when the software was [BSD] licensed, and to get it you either have to pay, or download a free version of the source from [CVS]. TransGaming are unhappy about people making the software available. |

"Note that while this license does permit certain kinds of non-commercial distribution of pre-compiled binary packages of Cedega, doing so on a large scale is discouraged, as it affects TransGaming's ability to continue to improve and develop the code. TransGaming reserves the right to change the license under which TransGaming-owned copyright code is made available, and will not hesitate to do so if non-commercial distribution of pre-compiled binary packages adversely affects the financing of continued development." |
