    Apple is using the source code. Not sure if they just bought it or licensed it. But what this means is that Apple is using the Codeweaver’s source code to build out their own, headless, emulation layer (like Rosetta). This also means that Apple doesn’t have to wait for a third party (which is why it took Square Enix so long to get their FFXIV launcher for M chip Macs) and they can sweeten the code to work with their architecture.

    This is pretty impressive, because now we have Apple-flavored “Wine” Third Party bundled Wine (FFXIV) and Crossover as options.
