I was looking in the code and became concerned with the state of asterisk using software without complying to the various licenses invovled. I was wondering if anyone had any documentation on all the changes that are required so I can distribute it legally.
For example there is code taken from NetBSD as well as the Regents of California and it is required that credit be given. Specifically their license states in part: * 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors. I dont want to be a code thief and use software without following all of the appropriate licenses. Since these names dont appear anywhere in the credits file I will have to make my own notices to be compliant with their licenses. There are some other issues elsewhere as well I was just wondering if anyone had actually documented them anywhere. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
