If I go into a shop and buy VFP box, only stuff outside on the box, the rules of the shop and my rulses count. Is there any law I have to have an internet connection or the shop owner needs one? VFP needs no internet.

Ah! There it is.

(VFP 9.0 box)

Between all the advertisements on the back site there is a small notice (this is under german law a surprising or hidden clause) that reads: "You must accept the enclosed LA ... if you do not accept ... you should return .. for a refund.
The vendor even put his own label over parts of it to block the barcode with its own ...

Any german software vendor will tell you the first place - seal broken - no refund (What's o.k. it's to easy to duplicate)

Web based scatter that may changed w/o notice? Only the one valid in the moment you buy, if one led you directly to it. If this is buried like a common MSDN info the judge may giggle.

And like others say - M$ does not fix the bugs - do it yourself. This is your right. In doubt ask several times for a fix, via something that goes as a document (fax? registered mail?) and then start to reverse. We all know that M$ can not fix the bug anymore. Knowlegde is gone. Dead as the dodo.

But we should stop with this academic question. I will not earn enough money by tring it so I will not do anyway. :)
