I think an issue here is that some people think there is some grand evil plan orchestrated by the powers that be behind this. There is not. This won't hurt FreeRDP anymore than a permissive license hurts Apache or Firefox or Xorg. I think it will help and help alot. But of course you can only take my word and look at my track record. I don't contribute to rdesktop then later freerdp because it's GPL. I do it because I love remote technology. All I want is to develop in a free environment. The GPL does not always allow that.
As an example, when we added the self contained crypto code(that you have to manually configure in) someone pointed out that it was not GPL compatible because of an advertising cause. Much like OpenSSL has. I had to spend a day finding and altering a big number library that was GPL compatible to correct this issue. What harm was being done the way it was. Why did I have to do that BS. All the code was available. I was follow the spirit of the GPL but on the letter. I just want to develop without these annoyances.
