I think all of the comments are good points regarding NoMachine&#39;s going closed source but<br>I believe that precedence is that if you have historically provided the code under GPL you have<br>already given those that use that software the perpetual right to continue using... just don&#39;t expect<br>
the originator (re NoMachine in this case) to fix bugs, improve on it etc. <br><br>NoMachine also has their own issues to deal with as some of their software I have got to assume<br>was implemented using GPL&#39;d code or snippets thereof so they would have had to rewrite their<br>
own using someone with no knowledge of or access to the original code.<br>That is probably just one reason why the new version took so long as its nearly 18 months overdue.<br><br>Someone in the thread did mention that if NoMachine continued with some of the 3.x NX code that<br>
was GPL&#39;d they would have to contribute back to the 3.x source any changes they make.<br><br>But... all of the above may be nothing or just fodder for lawyers to make money arguing over.<br><br>I think it would be worthwhile to post the question on the NoMachine forum as a question and<br>
get their official answer as it is a legitimate question that they must have decided on when they<br>went closed-source for the 4.x release of NX.<br><br>I&#39;m probably the right person technically to ask the question or name what modules etc but<br>
perhaps someone on the list could and let us know their answer.<br><br>Just a thought.<br><br>Brian<br><br>
