Certainly, there's an abandonware (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware) issue. MS has officially ended whatever support they provided for VFP. They don't want the liability of supporting it, they want everyone to code in DotNet and move their apps to "the cloud."
"Obtaining" the installer really isn't an issue; I'm sure there's lots of ways to do that. I'm surprised MS hasn't found a way to "monetize" (eww!) this long tail of the market. I have to think their lawyers have found there are too many "implied warranties of fitness" or somesuch that they can't just provide a serial number and download with some "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK" disclaimer for $250.
