I don't have a clue in juridic concepts, but it seems to me that because Wine started years before this breakthrough in microsoft's computers, the project itself can't be threaten (a kind of "prior art" argument ?).

As of patches submitted afterwards, it would prove very difficult to relate them to this event ; you will definitely not find chunks of Windows code in these projects (at least because their maintainers will be very reluctant to accept large piece of said code from new contributors...).

Even a clueless juge wouldn't accept something as vague as "didn't wine improved recently". Well, or so I hope...
