Hi All,
I am wondering if I will be breaking the GPL,
if I write for example, a channel driver or
make some modifications to the astrisk source code,
to interface at RUN TIME, through sockets, with
a proprietary system.
Eg.
1. I write chan_xxx + modify asterisk source
(make changes + new code publicly available)
2. chan_xxx supports hardware by XXX Corp.
3, XXX Corps interface is proprietary.
4. I write a layer over XXX Corps API, that uses sockets,
with the ONLY intent to BYPASS the GPL restrictions
(If what I think about them are correct)
5. Asterisk now interfaces at runtime with XXX,
but no library linking.
6. I sell the system, make all modifications available
under GPL, but don't purchase any sort of license
from Digium.
I looked at http://www.netrino.com/Articles/LinuxLaw/
and some ML posts, and it seems that perhaps I may be
somewhat correct ?
Please don't ask we why I would want to do this,
because this is a hypothetical situation.
I just want to clarify this, for maybe, future use.
Thanks
Shahed
