Depends on how flexible it is.

The problem is in the license, I dont see how sane developers could 
contribute to a project with this type of license w/o being fearful of 
having the rug pulled out from under them.  I think the recent attempts to 
create 
wineX as a Debian package and the issues that arose out of it, help back 
this point.
