Rick,

this refers to hosting the VFP dev environment, not hosting VFP apps.

West-Wind could not have been allowed to do what it did had your interpretation of the EULA been accurate.

>>FoxInCloud is designed to adapt your VFP app to the Web, while sharing all code with your

>Visual FoxPro 9 End-User License Agreement:

* 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

>   use it in certain ways.  You must comply with these technical limitations.  For more

>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?
