Well, let me tell you this: Most of Wine developers are hired by those companies who develop wine - Transgaming, Code-Weavers, and I think Lindows got some people too....
So far - Transgaming & Code Weavers has contributed lots of work. Just recently transgaming had contributed the major speed enhanced to 2D display, some interprocess work and other stuff, while CodeWeavers have donated most of their work on the crossover plugin to the main tree of wine. As I write this email I'm chatting with Gavriel State, the CEO of transgaming who is preparing now a 10,000 line diff patch to be merge back to wine, and from what I hear from some source in Lindows - expect some major source code contribution from them also once the product will be out. Of course - in all cases you won't get 100% of the code back (and they don't have to) or their business will be shut down, but as you can see - they DO contribute back.. BTW: GPL, LGPL licenses are definately not acceptable by any of the wine developers.
