That'd be a Nintendo reference, yes? Though I think somebody else stole Wine code and was caught. No huge consequences obviously.

Lol, and Rockstar selling Midnight Club 2 (IIRC) on Steam shipping with .exe file originally cracked by RAZOR 1911(source)

WINE is open source, so it's not stealing to use it
