This is all a bunch of crap (none / 0) (#2)

The only issue I see here is a bunch fuck-wits wanting their cake and eating it too. On one hand, they bad mouth MS. On the other hand, they are more than willing to use a MS dev tool.

The EULA is clear and all these ass holes want to do is effectively get something for nothing.

If these people had any balls and were being true to the cause they purport to have, he would create an open source dev tool that would bring the functionality of VFP to the Linux market.

A lot of online resources have picked up this story and in every case, have based the story from 1 perspective. Where is the fairness in that?

Fortunately, there are at least a few level headed people willing to argue the other side of this instead of being yet another blind following sheep in the herd.
