Legally, or practically?  Many things you might run under Wine are _legally_
required to have a Windows license.  otoh, I _have_ a windows license, and
can't use it under VMWare, because the hardware isn't recognized as being
the Dell for which it's licensed.

well, it needs a license for every one.  Legally and practically.
