Hi does anyone know whats the deal with the winetools package in community? Is it still useful? The wine wiki http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Winetools says its obsolete in favour of winetricks(?) But it also says its GPLed while the homepage http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/index.html#legal clearly states otherwise.
I opened a bug report here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13573

Note that there is not anything about license of Winetools itself, but it's notice that you have to also abide license of programs installed via winetools (not only Winetools license) with example of IE6 license.

Indeed. Does anyone still use it? http://en.opensuse.org/Wine says: Note: WineTools work with wine-0.9.3 and older only.
