Assuming that the GIT version is the correct one... The plan from the beginning was to remove Cendio code. Remember Peter it is because of you that FreeRDP exists in the first place. We have made some amazing progress in FreeRDP. We have some of the hardest working, talented developers I've ever worked with. I'm the longest running contributors to open source RDP software via rdesktop, xrdp, and FreeRDP. From my experience, this is a necessary change. The GPL does not work well in the situations an RDP client needs to run. The rdesktop plugins design is one example, running FreeRDP as a web browser plugin is another. The OpenSSL exception is another. The list goes on and on. I want to develop the best RDP client possible and the GPL does not allow that.
