RIGHT ON! None of these bastards would have the power of Asterisk to
fork if Digium hadn't gave it to the world in the first place.
My Loyalties are to Mark and Digium all the way.

I find myself in the unusual position of agreeing with Jeremy here. :) (no
offense intended, Jeremy.) I don't want to get into legalities or dive into
this flame war, but I think that Digium has done the world a great service by
developing, funding, and releasing Asterisk. I think they deserve to profit
from their work, and I will support them. If some on this list don't agree
with Digium's vision of Asterisk's future, then they should contribute code
and publicly debate their positions. Working against Digium IMHO is counter
productive, and discourages future open source development.
Reid
At this point in time I doubt that Digium will lose any profit from the
efforts of any asterisk fork group.
I also doubt that people who can profit from asterisk will be switching
to a forked asterisk. Digium can address the shortcomings a lot faster
than any new project. All they have to do is give that a little more
priority and the fork will lose whatever little bit of momentum it now has.
