Absolutely, but all license and copyright files in the GPL Asterisk distribution are pure GPL, and do not mention that Digium has an alternative licensing method available to them. In fact, the LICENSE file at the top of the Digium-distributed Asterisk tree is an exact copy of the GPL version 2 as distributed by the FSF.


Anyone who downloads this code, learns it, makes changes, and then decides to contribute those changes back to the "project" will only _then_ learn that they must allow Digium to license their code under non-GPL terms if they want their changes incorporated in to the "project".
