Maybe you should read and understand the comments on licensing. Maybe a going over the licensing threads here would also be needed. For the short story, Digium dual licenses asterisk. There is a GPL license for those of us that don't need proprietary support, and then there is a proprietary license that is charged for and is a fork of asterisk by Digium. This is why disclaimers are important for those who contribute patches. If there isn't a disclaimer, Digium can not include it in the proprietary version of asterisk. If they can not include it in the proprietary version, they tend to not allow it in their version of the GPL releases so they don't have to maintain a real proprietary fork as well as the GPL version. So far the majority of us are cool with this fact and can work around any annoyances this causes. But as stated in the comments in that bug, there needs to be a disclaimer from free radius to use their software in such a way. > Dough Fairly appropriate sig. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
