/me, too, sort of.

That indeed is a good point. So let's stay on our cosy little list for now.

Yes. That is a good idea. We will be facing that for NX soon.

I am not sure about VNC related patches, but for nx-X11, we will  
certainly stumble over a license discussion with every patch we will  
propose.

Please give the other TigerVNC hackers a chance to give feedback  
before you start intensive hacking on the main Git branches. But I  
think that they will give you the warmest welcomes, as well.
