Yeah what is in asterisk is copyright 1997. I do not know if there is a difference in the software itself or if netbsd went retroactive in terms of the advertising clause. I do know however that the license as shipped with the gpl version of asterisk is 4 clause, and that is the license that is presented when I get a copy. Granted the code in question has likely not changed in 8 years, however unless netbsd went retroactive and there are no claims against that software elsewhere, the 'and' qualifier is important, then you cant just omit that part of the license. -- 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 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
