True (I think - he claims otherwise).  An annoyance perpetuated by one of
the major linux magazines that gave instructions for "FreeNX" that never
referenced anything from anywhere but NoMachine.

Huh?  I don't think so... I can't say for certain that I've ever actually
made more than two connections, or had more than two users, but I haven't
ever seen such a restriction (and I _think_ I have had three connections at
once).

Now, I am not sure whether he's distributing NoMachine's nxagent and
nxserver here, or just using the same names, but he _says_ he's
distributing their nxclient - a clear copyright violation.
