VFP9 third party patch to work on NT4 released

Do you believe that the patch is relaesed by third party?

Here's the release information:

"..a free patch for VFP 9.0 is available to run it on NT 4.0. The patch has been
created by the German FoxPro User Group (www.dfpug.de) and can be found at
the dFPUG document portal in the directory
http://portal.dfpug.de/dFPUG/Dokumente/Freeware/ so VFP-developers do not
need to wait any more to buy an update of VFP 9.0 if they or their customers
still use NT4.

Some Technical details what the patch program does:

1. vfp90nt4.dll is copied to Windows system directory
2. vfp9r.dll and vfp9t.dll in VFP-Runtime folder at "Shared Files" are
patched.
3. vfp9.exe in VFP-program directory is patched.
4. vfp9.exe, vfp9r.dll, vfp9t.dll in same directory are patched.
5. backup copies of all files are made (extension .001, .002 and so on)

A patched VFP9 file will run on any operating system as long as it can find
vfp90nt4.dll in the windows system directory or the current directory. The
patch program can be forwarded to users if needed but you are not allowed to
offer it as an [sic] own download - please link to the above mentionend [sic] directory
instead. Patching executables might cause problems with virus filters and/or
licence agreements. No garantues [sic] whatsoever for patch programs and results."
