But if we have asterisk and add on Steve's code wouldn't it (suppor to recieve a t.38 fax call and have spandsp decode it) work? What does Steve granting a license to Digium have to do with it? I don't care if Asterisk and the fax support don't come from the same place.
Its easy to maintain a well contained application, like rxfax, outside the tree. Trying to maintain patches to rtp.c, chan_sip.c and other core elements is too much of a pain to be reasonable.
The code I contributed to Asterisk for T.38 passthrough languished for about 9 months before it was integrated. The day it was integrated it was in a less suitable state for integration than the day I contributed it. The patch to chan_sip.c had required many hours work from people over those 9 months, trying to keep up with the changes to the chan_sip.c in SVN. Its just wasteful and frustrating. The development of Asterisk has now degraded to the point where I will no longer contribute anything to it.
If someone wants to take my code and make it work with Asterisk under GPL conditions, that's fine. The GPL gives you that right. Please make sure you stick to GPL conditions, though. You can't use G.729, for example, in an Asterisk that's using spandsp.
