So basically once you sign over a GPL v2 , you sign over any right to misuse even the code wich you have written ? i guess i thought this could be scrutinized outside of the GPL via means of a solicitor but, if the law is complacent about use and misse then, i guess thats that and your correct, i have actually yes, used myself the CC lisence and was thinking the gpl was just a simpler version but seems that is probably safer to go wityh CC i guess there atleast you have some say over mis-use in cases where you specify wich docunments in particular, ie: sourcecode1.cpp,source2.cpp and v.cpp must not be modified... the rest could be.., for example. Ohwell, that shoots any theory then of why it is even being mentioned in the list, other than to potentially harm all users of tightvnc src. Stranger things have happened i guess.. Sorry for my earlier report and, enjoy the code! lol xd cheers Valdis .. On 31 August 2011 14:14, <Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu> wrote:

GPL is usually there to protect the src code in theGPL(named), but is also, not to be used in ways wich defame, wich is why it exists.. if tightvnc wanted to now, they could look at ALL its uses and scrutinize them in every case, and why the code is being used. It is something wich is verymuch now up to them and up to wether people have modified theyre code.Ahem. What the GPL V2 actually says: 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. "Not to defame" is an additional restriction, as is " scrutinize why the code is being used". You can't do either of those for a GPL-licensed package - you may be thinking of some of the Creative Commons licenses.
