True --- but I think that MS cares a little bit about VFP. They never released it as open source after they dropped it & it's my understanding that some of the stuff in it ended up in SQL Server & that's why they won't open-source it. (I could be very wrong about all that though lol).


>MS has never cared about VFP, cares less today than ever, and knows very well there's nothing to gain in suing an individual like Chen, and even the whole VFP community.
>As once mentioned, they would not even sue anyone for using VFP on Wine, while their core source of interest (Windows) was under threat.

>>I share the estimate that MS is not interested and agree on the consent here about interpretation in jurisdictions on allowing fixes.
>>If you want to add a layer of protection for yourself, forward the error to MS before contacting Chen ;-)
>>I would NOT say mentioning VFPA to MS is best way for Chen and VFPA as it might be best not to prod sleeping legal eagles too often.
>>I don't think you have that strong a position on 64bit version: MS might argue that to be intended and not a bug...
