so, will you be willing to help break this bind? i.e. there was my suggestion: > - ask Cendio to sign a binding letter (i.e. binding current and future > management) to not press charges based on any IP residue so long as > any and all current and future code stays under a OSI compliant Open > Source license .. if not, you're basically just strongarming the FreeRDP developers without even the slightest hint of ever letting go - this'll kill the project.
