>>I asked him, when he drove with me in my car from Oslo to Prague, whether I could use "Powered by Visual FoxPro" on my website, and he said that I legally could not. At that time Ken was in charge of the VFP division at MSFT, so I guess he knew what he was talking about.

>>>Again, not legal advise, just my opinion.
