SysMaster has been vehemently denying their systems are based on Asterisk, so they have *not* been making any source available, or telling customers where you might find it. However, their system does nothing whatsoever to disguise that is really is *. They seem far too lazy to do any actual work, so probably the code they use is * without any modifications. However, the licence requires they tell customers how to get obtain unmodified source code.

Nowhere does it say you need to advertise the open source product in your sales literature.
All (from what I gather) is necessary, is to make available the source or instructions to retrieve the source to the end user.
This could be on a CD or a sentence in a provided manual.
No reference is given to the percent of open source to proprietary software which must be disclosed.
Also, if I am not mistaken, if you sell a system with linux on it, don't you have to do the same for the OS? Lots of GPL stuff
there.
I am not defending sysmaster or anyone else, but I haven't seen (in this discussion) where anybody had reviewed the entire end user product package (outside of a hard drive).
My 2cents
