According to his interpretation of the GPL, RealVNC should have included a fully configured C++ compiler, too! This is getting rediculous. Over the last few months, this list has turned more into a GPL compliance discussion list for various reasons than dealing with VNC troubleshooting and development.
The owners of the VNC license released their awesome software to the world for FREE with SOURCE CODE and chose a licensing scheme that protects their code from being stolen by other programmers and resold under another licensing scheme. This translates to charity, folks. This was done in good will by people that didn't have to do this. I've been a VNC user since the first version was released and I've never had a problem getting the source code, modifying it, recompiling it, etc. This is just crazy, Rex. There are others out there REALLY violating the GPL with RealVNC code. If you want to be a watchdog, go after them.
