src.rpm/specfile, GPL violation

[Rex Dieter]

I've been patiently waiting for a response from RealVNC regarding the 
(un)availability of an rpm specfile and/or src.rpm for linux, since my 
originally post here on April 29.   I only wanted to see how it was 
built, as I've issues with a home-brewed rpm version of mine(1) which 
are apparently not present in RealVNC's binary rpm(2).

RealVNC is violating the GPL (unknowningly or not) by failing to provide 
the (preferred) source to the binary they distribute.

(1) When built against XFree86-4.3, it fails to build the vnc.so X 
loadable module.  When built against xorg-x11-6.8.1, the vnc.so loadable 
module builds, but crashes X when logging in as non-root.

(2) Unfortunately, RealVNC's binary rpm cannot be installed on my 
xorg-x11-6.8.1 system due to it's linkage against a very old libstdc++.so
