To be more specific, if it is code that links with Asterisk at the object code level (i.e. it is compiled directly in, or lives in a .so file in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules), then that code either has to be GPL, or else the copy of Asterisk must be commercially licensed. Code that is a separate executable, and only communicates with Asterisk via a communication channel (e.g. AGI, Manager API, etc) does not have to be GPL in order to be used with a GPL Asterisk.
