There is a popular vendor of closed source products whose security has been compromised often. The security of OpenSSH is well established. Reading this list iwe learn that the open source version of Asterisk is currently being used by military personnel. Asterisk offers ways for users to implement eavesdropping applications which undermines the goal of attaining extremely high security. Open source is for sharing if that's feasible and closed source is not. Dual licensing is for both. -- Mike _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
