>>Chen is working around technical limitations in the software with his product.

Now you're ignoring a different part of the EULA you quote yourself(!) and prolonging the furor. Emphasis mine:

>>The software is engineered to allow you to use it in certain ways. You must comply with these technical limitations

IOW "technical limitations" doesn't mean "stuff wrong with VFP and bugs" as you want it to mean. It means things VFP is engineered to do- like work on Windows, not Linux.

If there could be any doubt, the EULA continues

>>For more information about [the technical limitations], see the software documentation.

Clearly the "software documentation" says VFP is supposed to be able to use SPT against SQL Server fields and display OLE previews. So if these features are faulty, please don't insist on such impossible construction when those are barn door bugs/software interoperability issues and with MS saying support is over and no more patches- seems to me there's no barrier to remedy.

Please also acknowledge that the EULA specifically allows reverse engineering in compliance with US law. If you continue to refuse so you can call others crooks, shame on you.
