Said lawsuid had nothing to do with dBase runtime and everything to do with dBase language and file format. Basically Ashton-Tate wanted to outlaw Clipper and FoxPro and failed. This defeat meant you could use Clipper runtime for free but if you wanted to use orginal dBase II runtime for whatever reason you still needed to pay even after that “resounding defeat”. And of course all that happened much, much later in an era of dBase IV, not dBase II.
