When Digium get the money from licensees, do they pay the other developers? If this is not. Then I have a question, why they are the only one to enjoy the license while they are not the only developer?

Please do further development and contribute it back to the community! As long as you are using it yourself, you don't have to pay a license. If you *sell* Asterisk with your own additions, you either have to give the source code of your additions away to the buyer under the GPL license and he can do whatever he wants to do with it - or buy a commercial license from Digium and thus get the commercial rights to the software and the right to sell your customized version. Regarding prices for that, contact Digium sales. http://www.digium.com Best regards, /Olle _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
