Hi Al,

First, I started with 3.6 and have had a lot of fun as well.
Keep up the good work (development)!

Could you be a little bit more clear about the future?
If I understand it correctly SipXecs is moving from sipfoundry to openscs.
That leaves sipfoundry with ??, or will they develop their own sipYecs?
Are they allowed to use/license the copyrighted part of the code?
Also Ezuce is contributing a lot to SipXecs at the moment, how does that 
fit in the new situation?

Any clarification is welcome (I think everybody knew something was coming, 
I don't know 
whether they suspected this and I think they were hoping for something 
else)

Regards, Paul
