[asterisk-users] Audiocodes GPL
I have some Audiocodes units which appear to be running Linux, according to the unit's own System Log kern.warn Linux version 2.4.21openrg-rmk1 #2 Wed Aug 30 17:05:29 IDT 2006 However my contact at Audiocodes claims otherwise On 12/4/06, Yaniv Nizan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I doubt that we are running Linux on the MP-202. Perhaps there is a reference to the OS on the PC that configures the device So a few questions: 1) Does anyone know if the older Audiocodes devices (such as the multiport gateways) run Linux as well? 2) What does one go about doing to correct GPL violations? Perhaps someone has a generic legal letter that can be used in these situations? ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Only a copyright holder whose code is being used outside the terms of the GPL can pursue action against the violator. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

So, Audiocodes probably licensed it from Jungo. Just because the unit runs Linux, doesn't necessarily imply that there's a GPL violation.

Linux is intented to be used in proprietary hardware, applications et cetera. But, if I am not mistaken, if a device uses any GPL'd software, this must be clearly stated by the vendor, a copy of the GPL must be handed along with the device and you have the right to obtain a copy of all open source source code files involved in the project, for a marginal charge. Outright denial of the usage of Linux in such a device seems to not comply with that. If you intend to pursue this, you could try to find information on www.gpl-violations.org (and no, this is not an organisation that helps to violate the GPL ;-) BR Anselm ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [asterisk-users] Audiocodes GPL
There is nothing in the GPL that prohibits you from selling the software (RedHat Software). There is also nothing stops a sales person from denying it. They must provide a copy of the GPL and they must give you the source code and related modifications if you ask (not sure if you have). There are other terms and depending on who you ask, lots of interpretation. If you truly believe there is a violation (which I doubt) you should contact the Free Software Foundation - they wrote the license.
