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.
