Actually, to be clear, it specifically states you can't use 
"middleware...that allows more than a single client to access any 
FileMaker Pro database." While most middleware falls under that 
category, one product, e.g. Lasso Developer does not.

So, you can use Lasso Developer to develop sites with FileMaker Pro 5 
then serve them using Lasso Application Server and FileMaker Pro 5 
Unlimited (when available.)

I hope this helps.

P.S. Hmmm... is the Web Companion middleware?
