Hi Peter,

Again, I think you've ignored the fact that a copyright holder has the 
right to relicense GPL to any other license he want. If I wrote a 
program or a module and released it under GPL and I am the copyright 
holder, I have the right to relicense it to anything I want. GPL code 
does NOT mean it has to be GPL forever, as long as the original author 
allows it, it can be relicensed to anything.

I think you should look at the FreeRDP wiki again and check out who has 
agreed to relicense his code to Apache v2 and look at the report again.

Thanks,

Vic
