Triston Line commented on GUACAMOLE-1417:
-----------------------------------------
I'd like to add that X2go is GPL v1 but has been transitioning to GPLv2 (both
of which are incompatible with Apache 2.0 licensing
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License)] which presents a hurdle. I will
attempt ti find out whether X2go's HTML 5 client meets the licensing
requirements because their wiki claims that X2go has multiple different
licenses in effect (such as AGPL, MIT, etc).

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1417
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: guacd

> Fix For: 1.4.0

> Apache Guacamole is a fantastic product because it brings all of your
> sessions to one centralized console- and it makes those connections
> accessible to a variety of client systems. This is fantastic and beats any
> local client (e.g. Remmina) if you have multiple sites and travel between
> them (because your client will need to go from local to remote IP if there
> isn't a VPN for example. It also beats local clients because there is no
> installation, there aren't multiple types of clients for various operating
> systems, etc.
>
> X2go is a highly improved remote desktop compared to VNC and the setup time
> required for X2go is under 1 minute on most Linux systems unlike VNC which
> can take tens of minutes and can be finicky to maintain.
>
> The Apache Guacamole FAQ ([https://guacamole.apache.org/faq/#support-x2go)]
> claims that supporting X2go would be complicated. However, there is a working
> open source X2go HTML 5 client available that could be ported into Apache
> Guacamole. In addition to this, X2go is open source via GPL and AGPL which I
> believe is compatible with Apache Guacamole but could be mistaken given
> Apache 2.0 License is less restrictive
