TransGaming's Cider to enable Windows games on Intel Macs

TransGaming, known for its Cedega product which allows Windows games to run on Linux, has just announced Cider, a similar product for Intel Macs. Cider (get it--Apple, Cider?) is aimed at game developers and allows them to make their games work on Intel Macs without any source code changes. "Games are simply wrapped up in the Cider engine and they work on the Mac," says the Cider web site. According to TransGaming's FAQ, Cider's business model is a revenue-sharing one, meaning TransGaming gets a cut of the revenues from the sale of Cider-enabled game. I wonder if that means makers of freeware games can use it for free.
