Well, SUSE was founded in 1992 as well.
At that time, it was based on Slackware, though.
Of course, you may or may not think it's going strongly today ...

David source code?

"David" is a proprietary product from a company called SpecOps.
It's based on the LGPL'd Wine, but the vendor has so far refused to release
any sources; certainly there's nothing offered for download at
http://www.specopslabs.com
Presumably now that they've shipped the product to you,
you now have the right to get a copy of the sources. Could you request
a copy from the vendor so the Wine community can check for copyright
violations? Thanks!
p.s. For more about the issues the Wine community has raised, see
