Hello xrdp developers, I am Jay Sorg, creator of xrdp.
As you maybe know, I'm an original rdesktop developer, a FreeRDP founder, and an xrdp founder. In the future, xrdp will start using more and more libraries from FreeRDP. It only makes sense for use to work on common libraries. License issues. I am planning to move to the Apache license for xrdp as well. more specifically, MIT and Apache. MIT for the X11 stuff and Apache for the RDP server stuff. If you look at the COPYING file in xrdp you can see it's always been under the GPL + linking exception. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception I personally have not cared what people do with xrdp. It's been under GPL but I don't care what you do with it. The big difference between this license change and FreeRDP license change is that FreeRDP was a fork, with rdesktop history. xrdp does not suffer that same problem. xrdp started from only my code and Matt's. Also, I have not allowed just anyone to contribute to xrdp. Everyone I have discussed this with has been OK with an Apache model. I guess my question is, does anyone disagree with the Apache model?
