Rick,
On the legal side, EULA is a contract submitted by each party's national, and international law. A lawyer would probably argue that, whenever the editor no longer services the product, users de facto have the right to tamper it.
On the practical side, no one at microsoft has ever cared, and cares about VFP being decompiled; it's no longer strategic,
if it ever was.
These endless debates are just a dreadful way to sow discord among the community.
