For games, I think it's feasible to make at least the code that interfaces with the OS into a separate, re-linkable, open-source library.

Translations between the APIs (Carbon to Cocoa, OpenGL to DirectX) might be very hard, but at least upgrades would be possible.



Wine shows you don't need the source of the programs to do that API translation.
