I got the idea from Tux0r's wine thread here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=540954).Same thing but with Cedega instead of wine.

WINE is free & FREE and it's better at running some games and that is humiliation!

Aright I get the idea.......

Cedega is still not that bad of a thing though,its not too expensive so why can't Ubuntu users use both?One does not have to be better then the other.I like and use both.

Many of us have problems with some of the aspects of Cedega's history (it was originally a fork of Wine) as well as their poor track record when it comes to customer support. This excerpt from an article I once read on the subject explains most of it:
Cedega, which uses code from a lot of sources, is released under a mix of licenses, which means that the source code to most of Cedega is available via CVS. Yet while Wine is now released under a LGPL license, Cedega is proprietary software, which naturally creates some controversy around TransGaming and its flagship project. While Cedega is using parts of the Wine project, it hasn't contributed much back to the project, simply because Cedega is not free software, and having a free alternative would harm business.

What's more, while creating precompiled binaries from the Cedega source code is both possible and legal, it is strongly discouraged by TransGaming "as it affects TransGaming's ability to continue to improve and develop the code," so "TransGaming reserves the right to change the license under which TransGaming-owned copyright code is made available, and will not hesitate to do so if non-commercial distribution of pre-compiled binary packages adversely affects the financing of continued development." This has come close to happening in the past, when Gentoo and Debian wanted to include Cedega in their repositories.
