Hi Suma,

What applies is the GPL, version 2:
https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/blob/master/COPYING

In short, you are free to use LibVNCServer in your commercial product as long
as you put your code that makes use of it under the GPL as well. The link above
sums it up nicely.

LibVNCServer uses GPL as it itself is derivative work of GPL-licensed
products.

HTH,

   Christian
