You answer your self in this last sentence. You don't plan to distribute so you don't have to open source. Alternatively, the stdin/stdout of AGI insulates you from the GPL as you no longer are linking against the asterisk sources. What you are linking against is the libraries of your compiler/interpreter and most if not all of them are licensed in such a way as to not interfere with your software license of choice. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
