is it legal

[Fairlight]

I see a caveat in terms of security.  You'd have to go to great lengths to
protect the clients from stepping over each other.  I'm guessing separate
PFDIR locations for each customer.  But that's not the whole story, since
if you allow shell access, they'd still be able to get into anyone else's
code/data because they all need to be filepro to do anything useful.

You'd have to provide a web front-end and enforce the segregation with
credentials.

Sounds like a headache to maintain, but whatever floats your boat.

Sounds like you need to check for "lease" terms in the EULA, given the
suggested business model.
