EA sounds a lot like MS. EA is buying every game studio, IP and developer out these days.

Er what? Are we talking about the same WINE. I mean to quote themselves... "Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code"

Yes indeed. Wine does not require Windows at all, nor does it break any laws because the code is rewritten from scratch. The same goes for Mono, which does .NET on Linux.
The only problem is software patents, which are only in some countries and are bad legal constructs that are unenforcable because they are vague and "only ideas" so wouldn't stand up in any real test. Microsoft refuses to tell us what patents they think free software like Linux infringes, but maintain that they do: it's an empty threat to extort money from companies selling Linux like Novell (which they have).

BeOS was the best OS evar. And I'm sure some people feel the same way about OS/2.
