Gerry,

Take it as serious as it is. Companies will put their reputation above
our code and they using our code means that who disagree about the
license change can put the project and companies using it in court.
Like it or not. Think about what SCO did for many companies.

The point is: do it right or doesn't do it.

Or Cendio accepts to relicense their work for us or:

 * we keep using GPLv2 (I prefer against GPLv3 since some companies
cannot use it);
 * we redo all work;

As I said before we need to prove that our code is completely
different. A difficult thing to do since all code today has a rdesktop
code as parent (this is a simple "git log" of distance from you).
