I stand corrected; thanks for taking me to task on it. :-) > The reason for the "not for a long time" is because I feared that Digium > would create a proprietary version.

I don't know, I've got no problem with them dual-licensing it. I am saving a pile of money and getting a ton of features I'd never have in my normal PBX, plus I can piss around with phone system internals. If Asterisk didn't give away their code and let others have the chance at forking it and making a ton of money, I'd never have that opportunity. If they want to sell a version for big money to people who have more money than time, that's just fine by me. > Though I may have written bluntly, the fact that people are resorting > to ad hominem attacks, suggests that I have a point. Nah, you just come across as "I want it for free, and Digium has no right to make a buck off other's contributions." Nobody at Digium puts a gun to anyone's head to make them contribute for free. If the itch is strong enough, people scratch it. The itch wasn't strong enough for you, and that's your choice. I feel that blasting Digium for excercising their right to do this is in poor taste, though. -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
