If you don't mind saying, what is missing for full t.38 support?
Steve giving Digium a royalty-free license to his GPL software or a
pure-GPL branch of the Asterisk codebase, take your pick.
Why royalty-free? AFAICS there's nothing to stop Digium licensing this code
commercially from him, if it adds value to the product.
You've misunderstood something. Digium will not commit anything to the
Asterisk code base that is not disclaimed to them first. They do this
for various commercial purposes.
They *could* take anything GPL, like spandsp or any related T.38
developments in OpenPBX, and commit it to a GPL-only branch of the
Asterisk codebase, but then they would have features missing from their
non-GPL licensed commercial offering.
So yes, there is nothing to stop Digium from using GPL code in their GPL
Asterisk ... except Digium stopping themselves. And they do that rather
predictably... http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7742 ... for
whatever purpose they may have in keeping hardware support and features
from Asterisk.
