Thank you everyone for replying me about the GPL stuffs :)
GPL it is not very easy to understand in some situations :)

Well, how can we start contributing to OpenPBX development?

 Last but not least i've a license question. If my company develops an
 AGI that work with OpenPBX, can we sell it in binary only form or  
 we're
 forced to provide source code? I hope OpenPBX GPL will apply only  
 to the
 OpenPBX source code and not also to external code (AGI, EAGI, FAGI,
 extensions, etc.)

 GPL state that any code linked with GPL becomes GPL - and has to be  
 open
 source etc. The exception is if it is a binary, separated project  
 witch
 functions also without OpenPBX. The rules are set out in the GPL text.
 GPL is written like a virus license, so you need to take care if you
 combine it with proprietary, non-open source.

AGI/OGI is not touched by GPL unless you link (as in ld) against  
libraries that are GPL. Using AGI/OGI over TCP or by fork/exec will  
not invalidate GPL, and is indeed legal, no matter how much you  
charge for the app :P

Legalities aside.  If you are happy to use GPL'd code why would you  
not

want your code to be GPL'd?   While you are not obligated you might
think about what others would think.


Some companies make money out of writing software, and specialised  
software may be worth paying for. (I just bought Adobe Lightroom :P)
