VNC Licensing Terms

[James Weatherall]

Tim,

I'm afraid that's not true.  It depends on the nature of the commercial
product with which VNC is to be bundled, in particular whether it is classed
as a "derived work".  It is not clear in this case whether the commercial
product is "aggregated" or "combined" with VNC (i.e. classed as "derived").

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
