[AccessD] Next Version of Access 12 Musings on what mighthappen(RANT)

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?
