Thierry, when researching something else today I happened across this section of the VFP9 EULA:

Visual FoxPro 9 End-User License Agreement:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17504
* Beginning at line 82:
4. SCOPE OF LICENSE.  The software is licensed, not sold.  This agreement only gives you
   some rights to use the software.  Microsoft reserves all other rights.  Unless applicable
   law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use the software only as
   expressly permitted in this agreement.  The software is engineered to allow you to
   use it in certain ways.  You must comply with these technical limitations.  For more
   information about them, see the software documentation.

You may not:

   * work around technical limitations in the software,

   * reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation,

   * make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation,

   * publish the software for others to copy,

   * rent, lease or lend it, or

   * use it for commercial software hosting services.
These last portions, "rent, lease or lend it" and "use it for commercial software hosting services" ... is this what FoxInCloud does by leveraging VFP onto the web -- meaning anyone can access it (in that way)?

Or does FoxInCloud simply use the source code and do its own thing in complete isolation of any VFP-code-based services?
