I'm sure the GPL licence allows you to use the source code to make proprietary (closed source) or commercial products, as long as you abide by the terms of the agreement (eg. submitting any changes to that part of the source code you make to the author etc.) After all MacOS X is based on BSD, which is open source, and OS X is definatly not free or open source Andrew Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
