Heinz,
I went looking for the source code at http://git.x2go.org/ today
but there is nothing there. Is the source code at some other URL?
I think a lot of questions could be answered and good contributions
suggested if the source was readily available which it should be
since x2go is linking NX GPL-v2 libraries.
I am also looking forward to more collaboration ...
I think some of us list-folks are hoping for more possibilities of
contributing (ideas, bugs, patches), a source code repos will be one
aspect of this.
(I personally love to know if things I am hoping for have a chance of
becoming real some time in the near futures.)
Another possibility - and this is also one possible way of
approaching a project like x2go - is that Heinz and Alex state
explicitly that priorities are different in the core development team
and driving forward collaboration is not on the current agenda. This
will also be OK!!! But if so, I think, it needs a statement on the
x2go-dev list, so people around get informed.
Greets,
Mike
I'm certain that with a small team that Alex and Heinz have their
hands full with this project. And it is their choice where
collaboration tools like forums, wikis, mailing lists and such appear
on their agenda of priorities. What is not an open source editor's
choice is license compliance with the GPL. The GPL specifically
requires that the source code be made available for any derivative
works which have linked GPL code. There's no "wiggle" room about this.

The GPL has been consistently upheld in courts around the world. Here
is one of the latest cases that has reaffimed the legality and
enforceability of the GPL license. It is a French case involving remote
desktop software that was filed, not by the copyright holder, but by a
user of the software. The court recognized the legitimacy of the user
to bring the lawsuit because the GPL grants users rights to the software.
