Hi,
You can write a GPL'ed SS7. There is nothing protected in the SS7 design. I don't think there ever were any patents. However, if there were they ran out long ago.
Our non-GPL SS7 (because it is commercial) stack is written as a library in C. A modified chan_zap links it into Asterisk at the moment. This will change in the near future.
Regards, Steve

Wow, that did not take long.
As with the current case before the US Supreme Court about file sharing and music copying, I am just writing software. What people do with the software is not under my control.
My SS7 channel, app, stack or what ever, will be written from scratch in C++. If it just happens to work with Asterisk so much the better.
Thank God there were no lawyers available when the when the wheel was invented. Between the Royalties and the Law suits we would all still be walking or riding horses.

should look like and what it will need to be of any use.
I was under the assumption that the licencing of SS7 prohibited it from being added to a GPL'd version of Asterisk...
Is this not the case?
