Definitly not the RDP5.1 aspects. The RDP5.1 implimentation that this server
is most likely to contain will be derived from Microsofts published
protocol, which is very much closed source.

As for the RDP4 aspects, by the time the whole project is published, I
suspect it may be so interwoven with the 5.1 stuff it may be unseperable, we
will have to see.... I would love to open aspects of it, for sure.

The idea of an RDP/ICA server for Linux has MANY advantages over X :)
