To be fair to both sides of this one, 
MSFT pointed out at the FoxPro Dev Con that any user running 
FoxPro, or any components delivered with FoxPro, on a 
non-Microsoft OS (they mentioned Linux in particular, but 
not limited to) is in violation of the EULA (End User License Agreement)
they agreed to when they purchase the product.

So Linux isn't an option.  Had we sold that, we would have 
been sued from two directions.  It is amazing how far some 
will go to degenerate their own market.  It isn't phobia 
when the threat has teeth, I do agree.

Here's the WineHQ status report on FoxPro.  Summary: it basically works.
