Hello from North Carolina where SIPit starts tomorrow! Reading through the docs on the app_* modules I wonder how the GPLv2 is handled here. By default, GPL is sticky, so any module linked in to Kamailio will be GPL-licensed.
Wasn't the core changed to BSD some time ago? If the core with the module API description is BSD, then I think modules could have non GPL licenses too.
With app_mono, precompiled binaries are executed within Kamailio, but not "linked in" to the core. The question here is if we have a clear distinction here. If someone developes a Kamailio-based appliance and sells it - would the customer have the right to app_mono modules under the GPL?
I think as long the the precompiled binary does not need Kamailio APIs/headers for compilation the mono app should be GPL-free.
What about python, java and Lua? I don't think these environments precompile, but they still execute within a GPL environment.
Same here. If the script does not refer to any GPL licensed API or module then it is GPL free.
I think we need a clear statement about this in the README, like Asterisk has for AMI/AGI applications.
With AMI the distinction is much more clearer and easier. regards Klaus _______________________________________________ sr-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-dev
