Can you not find one with an LGPL license? – Clareta

I only found ones with a GPL license. – Kerriekerrigan

Sun supplies a uttsc utility for use with their SunRay graphical terminal. Much of Sun's software is now open source, but I couldn't immediately find the uttsc source. It might be worth some more Googling. – Imide

I'm a developer for CoRD, which is a Cocoa RDP client based off rdesktop. There are no loosely-licensed RDP implementations to my knowledge. As far as I know, rdesktop is your best bet (GPL).

Very detailed RDP protocol documents are freely available from Microsoft, however it is a somewhat difficult protocol to implement from scratch, due to its lengthy history and myriad of additions. It's much harder to implement than say, RFB.
