This was also aparently why they went from GNU readline to NetBSD code way back when (asterisk 1.0.2 appears to have the NetBSD code so its at least that far back when asterisk no longer was valid under the GPL).

But it removes the gpl requirements, although in general the gpl isnt that hard to work with for most business models, there are some however where that isnt the case (and probably a larger percentage where the people making the decisions refuse any gpl software). -- 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
