As I understand it, the Oracle/Google case hinges over whether copying APIs in order to make compatible software libraries is fair use or a copyright violation. While the binary Wine executable could probably avoid this, it seems to me that a porting service which provides compatible libraries might not. I don't know how Codeweavers does this. Can someone who does calm my fears?

Wine is, by definition, copying APIs, because it has to provide its own versions of Windows DLLs so the function calls made by Windows binaries into system libraries work.

Once MS co-opted Chromium it became kind of obvious what their strategy was going forward. It would be much cheaper for them to switch their kernel to linux and run windows 10 as an emulation layer. Then they can concentrate their efforts on Azure. They've already started to pave the way with WSL.
