Foxpro Redistributables (none / 0) (#9)
by Anonymous User on Fri May 02, 2003 at 07:02:29 AM PDT

If "Foxpro Redistributables" means Foxpro runtime modules then isn't MS in violation of it's own Eula if they work under WINE/Linux? As long as I did not create an install program for Linux wouldn't I be following the EULA as much as possible. Once a Foxpro app is installed it would be easy for the user to migrate it to Linux - especially if tools or information was readily available from a third party on the internet. Even if I had to follow certain coding practices to allow my app to work under WINE/Linux I can't see how I would be in violation of the EULA as long as I sent out my application in a Window install program.
