[Asterisk-Dev] GPL Licensing Question

[Michael Giagnocavo]

I understand that Asterisk is GPL’d, but Digium retains copyright, and thus can grant exceptions. So a company would need this if they modified the Asterisk code and wanted to sell it as a proprietary, closed-source solution. On the other end, anything just using Asterisk formats or protocols (say IAX, dropping a .call file in the outgoing spool, or editing .conf) wouldn’t need any licensing. How exactly does this work in regards to modules? As I understand, code that links to GPL code needs to be GPL also. Does this mean I can’t write a module that links to Mono (which is LGPL and MIT X11 licensed) even if my module code is GPL?   Thanks, Michael Giagnocavo
