I dunno about that a friend works for someone who pushes novel netware on his clients (who often dont know better) for no reason other than that is what he knows and likes. Near as I can tell the major reason for the fork was the dual license of asterisk, both in that the dual license exists and that some code isnt adopted into asterisk officially because the authors didnt want to dual license it. Because of the common roots, that means that both asterisk and openpbx can work to the same end and achieve better software regardless of which you select. > In the end it is the quality of software and our customers who decide where > our loyalties are. The rest, including some spirit, is just bulshit. > Providing the customers know, there are always those that will push their favourite onto customers who may not even know what either product is prior to discussing matters. My comment about the spirit of the gpl was in reference to the bastards comment. If everyone who used gpl software under the terms of the gpl is a bastard (as the original commenter suggested) then everyone who isnt running asterisk business edition is a bastard, unless its a 'you have to use it my way or you are a bastard'. I am not sure which the original poster meant. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
