indeed it is ... as i said, we just decided to not *ship* it in
edubuntu ... simply because of the fact that our target audience are
rather underskilled teachers doing the school administration as a
sidejob, many of them surely wont know much about licensing practice of
windows apps ... to prevent them from running ito such a trap we decided
to not ship it ... so you actually need to explicitly install and set up
wine before you can use it.

it is and will stay in universe ...
