IAX is an abbreviation for Inter Asterisk Exchange.
So IAX was a proprietary protocol for interconnecting Asterisk servers, it was only used with 2 asterisk servers. IAX has always been open for the community. So some may say it's proprietary, while it is open. At the current time, the IAX protocol is not only used in asterisk, but also in some softphone clients and other software, but you still need asterisk as one of the partners in a client-server relation. So wether you can still call it proprietary is up to you.

Marc

Can anybody explain me why IAX is called proprietary protocol? In some places IAX is refereed as "open protocol".
How can proprietary protocol be open protocol?
