Hi, First, congratulations on the large scale deployment ! May I also add a few related questions. Feel free to ignore any if they fall in the "NDA domain" :) 1) Regarding support and access: Setting up telephony systems is not such an easy job and messing them up seems to be even easier. So my question is how much of access do you give the organisation's in-house support team on your servers. Do you for example take the risk of asterisk config files getting messed by somebody at your client's location? Or do you only expose only the dynamic parts of the system (adding users, retrieving call recordings etc). I imagine it would be mandatory to give them root access. Is that correct? If yes, then is it the case of implementing as many safeguards as you can? 2) Licensing: How do you go about explaining them the license. Do you just list major parts like asterisk and debian and tell them we used this and its licensed under so and so foss license? Is there detailed written license documentation to be provided or just providing links to licenses sufficient?
