Re: VFP9 Licensing

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You can distribute inhouse and out of house royalty free.

There may be licensing issues for Windows Server that is hosting the web
site, but there are no additional licensing requirements for VFP. You may
also have licensing requirements for the DB, assuming it isn't VFP data.
