>Why on Earth are you spending time and money on this????

Because we care on our business to do things the proper way.

>I have to believe that creating your own logo with the words 'Powered by Microsoft Visual FoxPro' with the proper trademark designation and notations, it would fall within the province of fair use.

If we did it like that at first, that's because we thought it would have been ok. We respected the proper spelling or writing that terminology. However, at least one person as MS legal didn't like it. So, I will let the proper authorities to decide if that is ok or not. This case also serves to verify other similar topics that we are working right now.

>I would submit that trying to get MS involved was a big mistake. Once corporate counsel gets a hold of things, it is pretty much out of the hands of the product people.

I don't understand that statement. If it is in regards to how things worked, we never contacted MS. They contacted us.
