            Bug ID: 1036843
           Summary: x2go section of Fedora 20 Release notes says "Closed
                    Source" and infers x2go is based on closed source

Looking at the Fedora 20 release notes today I see that the x2go section
(3.1.1.1) says:

"X2Go is a featureful remote desktop solution based on NoMachine's now closed
source NX project."

While NoMachine's new NX4 product is indeed closed source / proprietary, x2go
is NOT based on NX4.  It is based on the GPL'ed NX3 libraries.  I think that
sentence is poorly worded and needs to be clarified.  I'd recommend:

"X2go is a featureful remote desktop solution based on a fork of NoMachine's
GPL'ed NX3 libraries."
