General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
Madeira runs Windows PC games on an iPhone, with no jailbreak. Games run as they are, unmodified, inside a single iOS app.
iOS apps cannot start other programs, so everything runs in one process: even Wine's server runs as a thread instead of a separate program.
