The temp page for CodeWeavers now has an email registry to receive an
unlock code for Mac (intel) or Linux versions, as well as direct
download links of special unlocked builds that it says will only be
available for today.

I was rude and greedy and opportunistic and did both of each, since I
will probably have an intel Mac in the not too distant future. To borrow
Lou Costello's line:
I'm a baaaaad boy!

Downloads went smoothly, so they don't seem to be experiencing server
overloads on that.

Of course, accepting (or exploiting) the freeby deal would feel much
more justified if Mr. Lame Duck had actually played an active part in
bringing about the lower gas price conditions of the CodeWeavers
challenge. But, hey, they set the rules...

peace
