Amen... Someone puts their valuable time into creating a great product, and you get people that think they have no right to profit from their hard work. I don't know what motivated Digium to put * under the gpl and make it available to everyone, but I do know that if Digium also makes commercial versions, it doesn't take anything away from what they have already *given* out for free. Never mind that the original poster completely confused copyright law and software licensing, acting as though you are entitled to something you didn't have a hand in creating is just wrong. Be thankful for companies that make products like this available, regardless of whether you understand or even agree with their intentions for doing so.
