One thought.... I wonder if the outcome for VFP would be different had it existed as a mainstream product now.
The folks who are involved in the "open source" movement in M$ obviously either don't know of the existence and power of VFP or have simply dismissed the product as end of life so you can't really expect them to pick it back up and run with it to "open source" as we all wanted them to 10 years ago.
Maybe there could be a Fox renaissance ... I'll live in hope but I won't hold my breath.

Ed, with Typescript the code is released under the Apache license so I don't see copyright as a problem.
That's certainly true, but my concern is that there is one company with its own needs running the show. Sure, others could fork it and develop it independently, but it's tough to do that without the community.
