Craig --

I tracked down Whil's abstract for the talk, located at: http://www.slcfox.org/Upcoming.htm.

From his description, it appears that the entire, or at least great majority of the presentation deals with a heterogenous network -- with both Windows and Linux workstations. The impression is given that a VFP application running on a Windows workstation will talk with a Linux backend.

Maybe there's something more going on, but it seems that falls perfectly well within the Microsoft EULA.

If that's the case, then why doesn't MS have similar problems with IE talking with UNIX servers over the Internet?

Anyway, if you have more info on this, I'd be interested.
