Digium is making people sign a draconian agreement that gives up rights to patches and features that are integrated into Asterisk, by signing rights over to Digium. I would expect that most contributors do not realize that they are setting up a scenario where Digium can, in fact, sell non-GPL Asterisk licenses to third parties and essentially sell their work. For all of the people who wanted to tell us about how horrible the BSD license is, please explain how this state of affairs is any better. > publicly admit the fact that they have repackaged Asterisk and > contribute enhancements to Asterisk back to the GPL. They are not required to contribute changes back. They are merely required to disclose the source code for the Asterisk portion of their product. ...
