They can't protect IAX and DUNDi that way, I'm pretty sure; the *protocols* would be stock, and therefore not violate the license -- but since usage of those particular terms is almost certainly nominative anyway, they *still* couldn't enforce. > Dont advertise it as asterisk or asterisk based per section "Uses that > are Not Approved by this Policy" paragraph 3 in certain places of your > web page (possibly not anywhere since that would influence search engine > results if the engine indexes based on content). "Asterisk-based" is, again, nominative. It's also factually correct. They can't, I don't think, control that usage either, though IANAL. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
