Just wanted to ask the list what the thoughts are on NoMachine's going closed source and<br>whether that impacts this project in any way.<br><br>Not being lawyers there was another NX oriented group that thinks NoMachine has the<br>
ability to change their licensing for existing open source code related to NX.<br><br>I checked <a href="http://www.nomachine.com/licensing" target="_blank">their EULA</a> and to me it reads that only a certain set of their programs are covered under<br>
commercial copyright.<br><pre style="margin-left: 80px;">NoMachine Commercial Software consists of the following computer programs
that have been developed by NoMachine:
- nxserver
- nxnode
- nxmanager
- nxclient
- nxapplet
- nxstat</pre>But no one had a good answer for "what about the rest"... as the EULA seems to say they stay open source.<br><br>Just curious of the thoughts of the developers of freenx?<br><br>thanks<br><br></blockquote>
<div><br>Thankyou Brian.<br>Now, after reading the EULA, I see I had jumped to conclusions.<br>The press release <a href="http://www.nomachine.com/news-read.php?idnews=331">http://www.nomachine.com/news-read.php?idnews=331</a> does say version 4 will be closed(although it does not explicitly say 'what' software).<br>
However the EULA definitely states that a good deal of the software is under the GNU Public License.<br><br>I would like to know if nomachine really intends to close the gnu licensed software or if it has just been a misunderstanding on our(my) part.<br>
