Re: [Asterisk-biz] Small / embedded system recommendations

Interesting discussion taken into account that Asterisk has the same 'problem'. I think you all forget something! I can write a piece of code and distribute it under what f..ing license I like as long as it is my code (at least originally). this is what both the swedes (MySQL) and Digium are doing. The fork idea is interesting, but I for one would not bet my money on the OpenPBX boys if Digium take them to court --- and you are pretty stupid if you believe that Marc will not consider protecting his business (he would be stupid not to). Maybe my interpretation is wrong, but I understand that you are ok to resell a system that include GPL'ed code as long as the source code is included....? jvb trixter aka Bret McDanel wrote: On Mon, 2005-12-12 at 10:05 +0100, Ron Arts wrote: Well, IANAL but I think this has not been tested in court, and there is no way you can be sure you can get away with it. Being devil's advocate I could make a case this is just plain fraud. I dont think forking the code is fraud and any claim they have that it is, when it was *them* that chose to release under the gpl which specifically allows forks to occur would be very questionable. I wouldnt want to be the test case either, however if they dont like the gpl they shouldnt have picked it. How can they in all honesty sue postgress for a gpl violation and then say the gpl doesnt apply to the very same code when they are on the other side of the fence? _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
