Well, in these days of broadband, I don't think anything under 20 MB should be a problem. Look at the VFP8 download. Also, look at the MSDE download. What are they(the group you referred to) using for a DB?
It's a little better for me since I distribute VFP web apps - I need only distribute the smaller vfp7t.dll/vfp8t.dll, interface is HTML, etc. I got the full distribution down to 2.3 MB with the smaller VFP runtime included using Installshield Express 3.5.
I wouldn't look for this group's approval, I would just do it - the success of the shareware will mute any criticisms of the technology...

It's written in VFP7. Are there others who've done so, or have plans for doing so? Contact is appreciated. But in case no one is interested in contact, here's a 'chatter' statement:
