It's cool dude I must have gotten my wires crossed but I hope you are satisfied now since it's pretty important to you. I see you want to be confrontational and the internet is no place for reason so...I hope that your issues with this situation have been resolved.

He said that because digium gives an exemption to link in non gpl compatible code (namely openssl) that meant that digium could violate the license, that wasnt correct. I do not recall any public acknowledgement of the issue, although I did bring up that they semi-privately acknowledged they were not in compliance and corrected it. The semi-public means was on a login only website they maintain that cannot be browsed without a valid login. That acknowledgement specifically did not cover the codecs instead it only covered the register utility, which I did not mention as a violation anymore, since they claim to have resolved that violation. > There is no need to have some weird satisfaction about a GPL violation > when the entire point of open source is communication and sharing of > code. They made amends, let's all move on. EVERYONE here is better off > because of Asterisk. So as long as I am open and do communication I can take asterisk and do non gpl compatible things with it and you would be ok with that? Or is this a one way street you speak of, where as long as its digium that is selling code in binary only format they are allowed to violate an open source license (that is what the issue is here specifically, not asterisk but the codecs which arent gpl or open source). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast IE +44 28 9099 6461 DE +49 801 777 555 3402 Utrecht NL +31 306 553058 US WA +1 360 207 0479 US NY +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.trxtel.com the VoIP provider that pays you! _______________________________________________ --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 _______________________________________________ --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
