Didn't mean to offend, sorry.

Also not looking for something for nothing.

Just offering some other thought as selling the project whole under the basis of re-branding within the call center environment puts it in front of a small base of interested parties.

I work for a financial company and if Asterisk was presented to me originally as product for pay my CFO would tell me to jump in a lake before allowing me to invest into a no name product. However as open source I installed it and integrated it into our existing Avaya IP platform. My CFO loves it and has given me the green light to buy server hardware, telephony cards, phones, etc since he sees the benefit. Recently Avaya presented their SIP server to us and the answer was "sorry we already have Asterisk". We are also budgeting for Digium support. The open source release with paid support clearly works in a corporate environment.

In reality "buy me because I built it and it has features" doesn't hold much value when you are a no name with no track record. I was just saying given a choice I would expect the on going financial rewards supporting open source would out weigh a one time low ball purchase.

Once again, sorry if I offended.

You ask EVERYONE to make all there work and effort Open Source cause you don't want to pay.....

But if we follow the Rules according to GPL... then Why the Hell is had not Digium made the g729 and g723.1 Codec's open source...

it was written on code from asterisk... for it Should be open source according to GPL... So in Short.... I don't think people should demand that people make there software open source UNTIL Digium Makes G729 and G723 Open source...

Until they do... Asterisk's GPL Has not Got a Pot to piss in...

I agree.

In the spirit the open source your project could not have gotten off the ground without the efforts it took build Asterisk. Take your hard work, release it under GPL, and you will benefit from those who look to implement it.

Or, go the route you are asking and it may rot since the marketplace of someone buying it just to remarket it will be small. At best you're going to get low ball offers that will insult your hard work efforts.

Also, read the trades, open source is exploding in both small and large corporations. Your potential market for support would provide a return much larger than a one time sale...

Good luck with your project.

Patrick:

Leave it for the open source, under the GPL, just like Asterisk, and sell your services installing it, improving it, all over the world

That is an option.

cheers
