What's wrong with making Mark a rich man? He has come up with a great new product and I'm sure he has risked a lot to get it to you. Asterisk is free so he owes you nothing. How about you take your jealousy elsewhere or maybe put your energy into doing something worthwhile.

If you did youra fool. With respect, I don't think you understand the dynamics of growing a business. If we are all to benefit from the continued development of Asterisk then it is in our own best interests for Digium to succeed, because their success is for our benefit. Your posting is unfortunate as it disregards the considerable effort, cost and time put into Asterisk by Mark and Digium. By the way, I have no relation with Digium other than to derive a considerable benefit from open source software developed by Mark/Digium and a lot of other programmers, for which I am extremely grateful. Digium is not being given a whole load of money - the investors will want a slice of the company and the future profits. That's how VC funding works.
