Hi,

The core FreeRDP libraries are licensed under the Apache 2.0 license:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/blob/master/LICENSE

The iOS client portion is licensed under the MPL 2.0 license:
http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/

Long story short, the Apache 2.0 is a permissive license and shouldn't be a
problem for you. The MPL 2.0 is a weak copyleft license, which means you
need to redistribute certain files: existing MPL 2.0 files or files in
which you copied MPL 2.0 code snippets. However, the MPL 2.0 license does
not require you to redistribute new source files which do not contain MPL
2.0 code in them, so it's fairly easy to write your own proprietary code
extensions.

As for rebranding, there's a couple of rebranded clients out there already.
It's perfectly fine aside from the fact that people are pretty much getting
the same thing under a dozen brands, as it's all FreeRDP in the end :P

Best regards,
- Marc-Andre
