Can you disclose whether or not the source will be released?  If not, I
think that starting an open project would be very much worthwhile.

In answer to the original post, I am also unaware of any reason that a
Linux RDP server would be impossible.  I would also like to voice
support for the project and would be willing to contribute if the source
is open.
