this list passim:

The 8 EULA has explicit language that says you can only distribute the

runtimes on Windows... < JVP >

...again

The EULA requires simultaneous running of the Windows platform with the

redistributables...< JVP >

actually: "in conjuction with" (conjuction n. the condition of being

joined) - AndyD

...but now:

MS is not saying that you cannot run VFP on a non-MS OS. < JVP >

I note, I offer no comment**, I am after all only an idiot programmer who

writes freaking emulators!

**other than to say that if the apparant contradiction is supposed to be

explained by:

The limitation does not mention the VFP Dev environment...< JVP >

then am I the only person who believes that "design, develop and test"

*specifically* does not include "run"?
