Re: Question about the GPL

There is no information that it ever used to be VNC or what it does (unless these elementary school teachers know a lot more about computers than what we think :)

To be certain, you'd really have to read through the text of the GPL
as distributed with VNC. As a general rule, you should always read the
license as it comes with the software, just in case there are any
special provisos (e.g. a clause requiring credit). It should be pretty
clear on these points. My guess is that you are probably safe,
especially since you are not redistributing the software.
