No, this is wrong. In some cases it might be preferable to use the latest 
SVN version rather than 1.6.0, though.

Well, we have been able to get all changes back from Igel, for example, if 
this is what you are referring to.

Our position, in every project, has always been to try to build 
communities and join the projects with the biggest momentum. However, 
right now it seems difficult for us to join the FreeRDP project, partly 
because they have removed several core features that we depend on, plus 
that they apparently have an explicit goal of removing our code. I don't 
know why. Additionally, we have the different view on the license.

We are still waiting for the investigation of the license change, but once 
that is sorted out, we need to decide on how to move on.
