So - if you install VFP and your MyApp.exe on a Linux server, and 'push' the GUI to a Linux pc-terminal (or a dumb terminal) using WINE-X, every thing is okay?


>>What??? FoxPro might be banned from running on Linux, but Office can? Office will just have "limited support".

>The difference is MS can not prohibit you from running a fully licensed product like MS Office under whatever OS you want. The same can be done for VFP as well as long as you have a licensed copy. The difference is the "royalty free" VFP runtimes and maybe the use of the Win Installer components being prohibited from use under non-Win OSes.
