Just though I'd point you to a copy of Windows XP EULA (end-user licence agreement). Using VNC (without a licence for XP on the viewing machine) is not permitted under this EULA. The relevant bit is:
Except as otherwise permitted by the NetMeeting, Remote Assistance, and Remote Desktop features described below, you may not use the Product to permit any Device to use, access, display or run other executable software residing on the Workstation Computer, nor may you permit any Device to use, access, display, or run the Product or Product's user interface, unless the Device has a separate license for the Product. See full EULA at: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=21841&cid=2330480 Sorry it's not a Microsoft link, but for some strange reason, MS are never very keen to publicise their EULAs. Note that XP seems to include some VNC-like app (Remote Assistance/ Desktop?), so obviously they can't allow a competing product. Whether the EULA is legally binding is anyone's guess. The big corporations are pushing for laws all round the globe to make them so. If you think this stinks, fight back.
