Dear Peter,
If I understand correctly, you want to start playing this little game of
"let's pretend I own copyright on this code base" with 1.0 now?
Sorry, but you do not own copyright on the FreeRDP 1.0 code base. You
weren't able to point us to anything now, you aren't pointing us to anything
now, and you simply will never point us to anything in the future as well.
As Vic said, I do not think we need to discuss this topic further.
We Are Not Using Your Code. The End.
Best regards,
- Marc-Andre
