Hello, I need to correct myself on one of the points I made in my reply last night. As a very polite developer from Sangoma stated to me(with evidence I might add)they have in the past and continue to today contribute code to GPL Asterisk. It doesn't say so on their website but their developers have been bug-checking, patching and contributing new code to Asterisk for some time now. They just started directly giving credit from Sangoma for some of these contributions in the bugtracker starting this week. While it is true that they probably don't have as many full-time dedicated Asterisk developers as Digium does, a portion of a Sangoma AFT card purchase will go towards further development of Asterisk. So you can feel a little less-bad about buying those Sangoma cards now.

They're glad to use Asterisk as a selling point for their hardware, but unwilling to donate anything back to the Asterisk community. I'll be glad to stand corrected, but if that assertion is in fact true, we should be careful to do things that actually damage Digium's ability to leverage their development of Asterisk with their hardware sales.
