Bug Description

FreeNX is a kind of succession for the VNC. With it you can connect to a remote Linux computer, but it is a lot faster, even on low bandwidth because of a specially designed compression library. You can download stuff from the remote server too, plus much more stuff. It is much more secure too, since it uses ssh as a backend. To know more about it you can visit: http://www.nomachine.com/products.php

The source codes are available on:

Well, as long as I could see, the only information missed was the license, which is GPLv2.
