If you are using Linux, you already have GPL code in your product. rdesktop also uses GPL.

This is not the case with rdesktop. Just as with Linux, there are many authors and just getting in touch with them all (to discuss alternative licensing) would be very difficult. >> So my question is, does anyone know of a RDP implementation for Linux >> that is not copy-left, reguardless of whether it is "free" or not.

FreeRDP is also GPL licensed, at least according to https://sourceforge.net/projects/freerdp/. It must be, since it's a fork of rdesktop.
