You can install VFP development on Linux. You cannot install VFP Runtimes on it. The relevant clause in the EULA is
3.1 General Distribution Requirements.
(a) If you choose to redistribute Sample Code, or Redistributable Code (collectively, the "Redistributables") as described in Section 2, you agree:
(i) except as otherwise noted in Section 2.1 (Sample Code), to distribute the Redistributables only in object code form and in conjunction with and as a part of a software application product developed by you that adds significant and primary functionality to the Redistributables ("Licensee Software");
(ii) that the Redistributables only operate in conjunction with Microsoft Windows platforms;
This is there in VFP8. I don't remember when the clause was added. Check if it is there in VFP7. If it is not there, then there should be no problem with installing VFP7 runtime on Linux
