There are quite a few individual extensions of it, and the source code is
open.

VNC is not a commercial product which AT&T has committed to supporting and
extending; it was developed purely for ORL's internal use (possibly prior to
AT&T's takeover, IIRC).  They made it available for free just because they
thought other people might like it (;)) and AT&T has continued to support it
by providing a mailing list, archiving, and a distribution point for it.

I suspect VNC users are spoiled rotten compared to most users of open source
software.  The product was developed by a technically talented organization;
was ported to multiple platforms; then they released the source, host
mailing lists, code, and binaries, do patches for significant issues...
We're already getting a free ride :)).
