Michelle,
you sent a single message containing suggestions to me on 11/02/2005.
Your claim to have contacted me "many times" is clearly false. Due to
demands outside the asterisk world, I have not been monitoring the list,
but I doubt that should have been necessary, considering that contact
information and even a mailing list are available for cid-rewrite.
Nobody at all contacted me about reverse lookup not working, and since
the script has published was "in production" here for over a month as
well as on many other servers, I have to question the validity of that
claim.
My comments about spelling and commercial use are very productive.
Much unlike you seem to, I take pride in the work I do, and being
associated with something so poorly written as your changes to the
readme is an embarrassment to both of parties. Additionally,
programming is a very exact process, and the quality of your
documentation betrays your ability. I do maintain that you are in fact
misleading potential downloaders on the origin of the script. You have
removed contact information and effectively taken credit for this work.
You furthermore are offering paid support, which qualifies as
"commercial use" and you have neither asked for nor been granted
permission for commercial use of my intellectual property.
Expect no help or cooperation from me in integrating your changes --
your changes are hacks at best, and a far cry from the properly
architected changes I have planned and partially integrated in my
production script.
In the meantime, either remove the download of this bastardized script
from your site, or add full contact information back into the readme
file and offer FREE support for it. Please comply within 72 hours of
receipt of this message.
Regards,
-- Jay Milk

Jay,
I contacted you many times regarding the script, whether you planned to
update it, suggestions for features, etc. You did not respond to any of my
later emails. Similarly, there was discussion between list members
regarding whether this script was orphaned after changes to 411.com made the
reverse lookup non-functional - for a long time. I assumed responsibility
for updating the script as a courtesy to Asterisk users.
Your comments about spelling, resale, etc. are abrasive, unproductive, and
misleading. Not only is the script available without charge on the web
site, credit to you remains with the script - in fact even the download link
of the web site gives you credit! And of course, why would I update the
script and then encourage users to download an older version from another
site?
If you have time to dedicate to the cid_rewrite project terrific - I would
rather see one stream benefit all users. Let's work to integrate changes
going forward. If you would prefer not to, I would be pleased to rename the
script so that there is no confusion.
Regards,
Michelle

Michelle,
1. Courtesy would suggest that you would have contacted the author of the
script (me) to ask permission to modify this and host it elsewhere.
2. What possessed you to remove ALL credits and original download location
from the readme file? Are you trying to pawn other people's work off as
yours?
3. It's not exactly smart to continue someone else's versioning scheme if
you're intending to make a "fork".
4. Your spelling is atrocious.
5. The script is not orphaned, even though you seem to imply this in the
readme file.
Since you are selling support for this script, that qualifies as commercial
use and is expressly prohibited by the micro-license included in the
original script. Please remove it from your download page until you have
made arrangements for further distribution with me. I'm utterly amazed at
the bad form I see here.
Downloads of the original script are available here:
http://www.muware.com/asterisk/
The script is alive and working well, and I've made various enhancements to
user-requests in the recent past.

Miles,
You can also download cid_rewrite from www.generationd.com This PHP
script looks up the phone numbers in a local MySQL table, and/or uses
reverse 411 on the web to lookup the name, and/or more options.

Could you give me an example code of how this would work, and how to
setup the database, I'm pretty new and while what you have written
makes sense, and sounds like a good plan I'm not sure I can implement it.
I'm using my own agi-bin for "patching" callerid and adding the name
if the number is found in a table (a csv that is mantained with a
spreadsheet), it adds the name taken from this table. Then you can see
the name in the display of the phones.
