Yeah...  crossover office plugin and server are all based on Wine
(http://www.winehq.org).  Codeweavers is excellent about cooperating
with the community and everything they do (except the dirty hacks) is
GPL'd.  They even go so far as to contribute tons of boring
infrastructure work.  In general, Wine can be convinced to run
everything crossover can with a look at the AppDB
(http://appdb.winehq.org/) and a little (very little) elbow grease.
