Yeah. What with WMD and global warming who needs MS lawyers on your case as well :)

>Although I have not done it myself, I have seen VFP run on linux using WINE by Whil & Paul M. The MS line has been that the EULA language was changed to not allow free distribution of the VFP runtime on non MS OS's. I believe these changes were made in versions 7&8 (and probally 9 and up), but there was no such language in the VFP6 version. Even though there is some nice stuff in 8, I can certainly live with Version 6 for end users. My boss, who is a laywer (although not actively) does not seem to think these clauses are enforceable, as well as MANY clauses found in MS Eula's. But until someone takes up the legal fight to ensure this, I like to err on the side of legal software use because who wants the MS legal pitbulls after them.

>>Yup, I agree with all that. Its much harder if you're pitching for a job in a large corporate towing the MS party line. What do you mean by "freely distributed RT" for running VFP on Linux? Do you mean Wine?
