Curious indeed.  The realVNC website clearly states the GPL is in effect
(for the free version).  I would think your scenario is similar to a Linux
distro that is commercially sold yet contains MANY titles licensed under the
GPL.  One difference, however, is that your app "must have" the VNC binaries
to function - perhaps this is irrelevant.
We need a GPL veteran to comment here.

I would have to say your best bet would be to contact the authors rather
than this list.

Subject: "Bundling" VNC? (Repost)

I'm reposting this because I posted it a few weeks ago but got no response.
Hope someone can answer my question.

I have an app that I made which downloads & installs VNC onto a machine, and
then makes an outgoing connection to a listening VNC viewer.

I would like to sell my app, but first would like to check that I'm not
violating any licenses and so on.

I'm not selling VNC, I'm selling my app, which just downloads and runs the
"winvnc4.exe" file with pre-defined params.

How do I stand?
