Except it wasn't "taken", but licensed from CodeWeavers in a commercial partnership. This implies that they're contributing cash, not code.

Not sure what agreement they have there, but at the end of the day it’s Wine which has decades of open source development behind it at this point. Plus a bunch of other libraries (gstreamer being a notable inclusion) that are all FOSS. This still fits the pattern of Apple profiting off of OSS projects while contributing back as little as they can get away with.
