Actually, it DOES mean "free", especially since Asterisk is under the GPL. But, as RMS often says, "that's 'free' as in 'free speech', not 'free beer'". That problem doesn't exist in French, where there are two distinct words for "free" and they refer to it as "libre". The point of Free (or Open Source) Software is that if you think that some company (e.g., Digium) is charging too much to maintain it, you have the freedom to maintain it yourself of even start your own company and compete with them. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
