If you have implemented VNC then you know how it functions. It has a very
simple function and needs no discussion.
If the argument then falls on why, and if, the implementer should be looking
to this list for moral grounds on ways around the intended result of
implementation, then they should be looking instead for a psychologists'
opinion rather than ours.
I applaud the VNC developers for their efforts and ethics in developing this
FREE product that we all take for granted. If you want to cheat, then the
option is there... the answer is simple... recode and recompile. It's
obvious after reading the FAQ and the posts to this list that that was not
the original implementation.

Here here.... this is a mail list about VNC functionality, and user
requests about the functionality seem apropriate.
