John,

<<Don't know about VFP, but my Office licence says that I can "install and
use
one copy of the Software Product on a single computer, device, workstation,
terminal, or other digital electronic or analog device".  No mention of
operating systems.  >>

  I didn't have time to check the Office EULA, but I know for sure that the
VFP EULA does have a clause in it that apps can only be distributed on Win
OS platforms.  Note to that I wasn't clear in that when I said "Access", I
was thinking more in terms of the runtime and the distribution of apps.

  If it's not in there already, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the
next one<g>

Don't know about VFP, but my Office licence says that I can "install and use
one copy of the Software Product on a single computer, device, workstation,
terminal, or other digital electronic or analog device".  No mention of
operating systems.

Do you know that VFP has a different kind of licence?

John
