If you have to link your software with a GPL library or use header files you have used GPL files and will be required to honor the license. If you use AGI, the stdin/stdout sufficiently isolates the parts. An other option that is available is to negotiate a proprietary license with Digium. Currently all code in asterisk is available to be licensed in a form other than GPL. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
