[asterisk-dev] digium closing the source?
hi all it's been some time this question came up, but i just heard a rumor saying 'digium is to be closing the asterisk++ source'. the rumors didn't say when or anything, so i'm just wondering if there might be something in this, or if it's only talk. thanks roy -- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk [EMAIL PROTECTED] (+47) 98013356 --- In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there is no air to get in the way. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev

Also, Digium was just given a few truck loads of cash for BEING such an open-source driven company. Stop trying to bad mouth Digium with your so-called rumors.

Disclose who you heard this rumor from - Then inform them that Asterisk source has been released into the GPL. If you don't understand what this means, hire a lawyer to explain it to you. Please keep in mind that, despite that they released the source under the GPL, they *still* can have a proprietary[sp] version of Asterisk which they sell which can have more features than the normal GPLed Asterisk and they *still* can one day say We will stop releasing the software from now on. They are the licensors[sp], not the licensees. And we all (well, the people who sent patches) signed a disclaimer which can make this happen (not that this is a bad thing, considering the amount of things we got back for it). But on the other hand, they can't change the license on the already released versions, only on new releases. And they can't say nobody is allowed to use the already released Asterisk source anymore.
