You cannot distribute a closed source add-on (except AGI) for Asterisk without a commercial license for Asterisk. This is just standard GPL stuff, not Asterisk sprcific.
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.
Erm, at the risk of getting flamed, where does IAX come into this picture?
If I re-implement IAX(2) in a different language (not using iaxcomm except as
a refererence or test )
and want to sell a product based on it can I do that, or do I need a license ?
(I come from a BSD background, so the implications GPL still confuse me) T.
