TransGaming Technologies is a company that sells a proprietary fork of WINE for running Windows games on Linux and other operating systems. Its flagship product Cedega is available on a subscription basis at $5 US/month for a minimum of 3 months.
The company has offices in Toronto and Ottawa. It was founded by Gavriel State.
Controvery About Contributing to WINE
The company initially promised to release its Direct3D work back into WINE. However, these promises quietly disappeared from their web page a few years ago and are no longer to be seen. This was discussed on the WINE mailing-list. Supporting this assertion is that WINE is not mentioned on the page describing their products.
TransGaming has released the source code to their version of WINE--which they now call Cedega. However, it is considered a non-free licence by Debian/Open Source guidelines. When Debian maintainers got a request to package it they were threated by TransGaming with a licence change that would make distributing binaries of the code illegal.
