Not true.
Most of codeweavers is Open Source wine. Out of the remaining, non-free part, most of it was done by Codeweavers, not Lindows. Lindows did make a significant contribution, but that's far from "paying codeweavers for making the product".
There is another difference: Codeweavers is not doing anything illegal. The issue here is that Lindows is breaking the GPL.
