Hi,

Browsing Debian Pkg-nx-group archives I noticed a message [1] which
suggests that using non-GPL software inside an NX session might be illegal:

"I think it's illigal to use non-GPL applications like Acrobat Reader
inside an NX-session. These non-GPL applications are using X libraries
with GPL license. Even running OpenOfficeOrg would be wrong, because
this is LGPL."

Does this realy hold true?
