Hi! This mail is sent to both le...@li... and the rdesktop developer mailing list (rde...@li...). I have found out that the MochaSoft RDP client for the iPhone and iPod Touch, which is distributed commercially trough the apple App Store, is based on the GPL licensed rdesktop. There is a lite version which can be downloaded for free. After syncing it to the Mac or PC with iTunes you can grep for standard rdesktop symbol names and you will find: - global rdesktop variables (starting with g_) - iso/itot layer functions (starting with iso_) - tcp layer functions - mcs layer functions - rdp layer functions In an email to Mochasoft which I wrote regarding the release of their sourcecode to the public as the GPL states, they answered that due to the difference in the platform (screen, input,...) of the iPhone they do not see this as a GPL violation. Maybe you can explain them what the GPL actually means and that both their free lite version and their commercially sold normal version have to be published in full source code and detail. Best regards, Peter |

Hi Peter! Maybe you can get in touch with Apple since they are also distributors through their market place. They may be worried to distribute something with a licensing problem. -- BOFH excuse #112: The monitor is plugged into the serial port |
