The protocol was developed by Olivetti Research Laboratory, now owned by AT&T, for the VNC project.

If you implement RFB from the ground up yourself, without using any open source code, you do not have to make it open source. If you use any GPL code (such as the original VNC code), then you must GPL your product. -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
