Can I use GPL/GNU software like ultravnc and tightvnc for a Big Company?


Like a company of 1000-1500 employees. I’ll be using it as a back-up remote access software since WinXp remote desktop software doesn’t let the end-user see what I am doing and so. Would i be able to use it without having to buy a special enterprise license or so? Or is there some other legal Issue? I did noticed realvnc had an enterprise license for it but these other 2 do not offer any at there website that im aware of.

  • Brian H:

    According to the GNU GPL:

    "What the GPL requires is that he must have the freedom to distribute a copy to you if he wishes to. Once the copyright holder does distribute a copy program to someone, that someone can then redistribute the program to you, or to anyone else, as he sees fit. "

    So this should allow free use as you see fit. There are no restrictions on who may use a GNU GPL licensed product, that I can find.
