It seems worth noting here that VNC originated at the AT&T/Oracle/Olivetti UK research labs, and that the
team who designed it, now at realvnc.com, released it under the GPL, which is where these folks got it to
modify. :-) They also named it "Virtual Network *Computing*".

Thanks to them -- *and* to their bosses, for letting them.

Got a project an employee wants *you* to think about opensourcing...?
