Hi, let me clarify here: What you refer to is the Kannel SMPP v3.4 server (smppbox) that I provide under a commercial add-on license. The above is the offering from Donald Jackson, who is also a Kannel group member and is entitled to re-sell licenses for the Kannel SMPP v3.4 server (smppbox). The Kannel opensmppbox is an open sourced SMPP server originally developed by Rene Kluwen, who is also a Kannel group member. The opensmppbox is available via our SVN repository. So what's the difference? A lot! The opensmppbox is handy for very basic tasks, but lacks all the extended capabilities that the commercial smppbox has, which is developed continuously since more then 8 years. Here are some statistics to give you an impression about the difference impact: Kannel opensmppbox: <caption>Source line statistics 2010-11-09</caption> <tr> <td>Number of files<td> <td>4</td></tr> <tr> <td>Lines total</td> <td>2897</td></tr> <tr> <td>Non-empty lines</td> <td>2573</td></tr> <tr> <td>Lines with semicolons</td><td>1069</td></tr> Kannel smppbox: <caption>Source line statistics 2010-11-09</caption> <tr> <td>Number of files<td> <td>139</td></tr> <tr> <td>Lines total</td> <td>71149</td></tr> <tr> <td>Non-empty lines</td> <td>46294</td></tr> <tr> <td>Lines with semicolons</td><td>17772</td></tr> > Also same guys sell something called Elite SMS Gateway > http://www.elite-sms-software.com/core-system/smpp-server-api > > It seems they are trying to make money on smppbox and kannel? Is it legal ? Elite SMS gateway is aka arch.tech, which is entitled by me to provide Kannel SMPP v3.4 server (smppbox) licensing. So, everything fine here. Nevertheless, thanks a lot for your awareness.
