Ok I have known about this for over a month now and have yet to see anything
come of it. Just a little note that Sysmaster is packaging up Asterisk in
their product and not giving a notice with the product with an offer to the
source of the the GPL software they use inside their products. They even
lie and tell people such as myself outright that it's not Asterisk. If
Digium doesn't push the issue it only weakens the GPL.
So just to be clear: if vendors package Asterisk into their own "product", they need to make it clear that it's running on Asterisk? Or do they simply offer to make the source available for free (which, if you give root access to the server, they will be able to get to)? Or both?
IANAL so can someone with more experience shed some light on this? Maybe someone from Digium themselves can chirp in and lay down the facts straight once and for all?
The requirements of what they must and must not do are all described in this file, which is included in the Asterisk source code:
