Currently, whenever you launch Xvnc or the legacy Unix or new FLTK viewers, they print an outdated copyright acknowledgment:
Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd. Copyright (C) 2000-2006 TightVNC Group Copyright (C) 2004-2009 Peter Astrand for Cendio AB This needs to be changed or updated. The problem is that the actual copyright history is about a mile long (see the new README.txt I just added in the top-level source directory.) Thus, I think we really need to replace the run-time copyright message with something more generic. It's been the convention of the Windows viewer and server for a while to say: Copyright (C) 1999-2011 [many holders] That seems somewhat unsatisfying to me, but I can't come up with anything better. Just trying to eliminate the need to maintain a list of the copyrights in multiple places. I question whether it's even important to maintain that list in the README files, since it's likely to get out of date as well. If people really want to know who wrote the code, they can grep the source. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
