New VFP9 SP1 XSource download and modified license

Ken Levy has just announced a new VFP9 SP1 XSource download, which includes the source code to various "XBase" parts of VFP9 that were affected by the SP1 updates. Also included is a new license agreement specifically for the XSource download, which overrides the normal license agreement to allow distribution of modified versions of the XSource components.

This is a major step forward, allowing the community to legally distribute customized versions of VFP's XBase tools. (For those not familiar with what we're talking about -- VFP consists of a core EXE, plus other tools in the User Interface (IDE) that are written in VFP code -- thus the saying that parts of VFP are written in VFP.)

More details are included in Ken's January letter.
