His reasoning made perfect sense to me, I don't get the "blackmail / bribe" stuff. Since the very beginning of his project he has been quite vocal about not wanting to cause any sort of harm (financially) to CodeWeavers because they do actually contribute quite a lot to the Wine project whereas Whisky did not.
