I see this could be an issue with ARI - not much for what I'm doing
now, because we could always add a second GPLv2 repo, keep all files
from Asterisk there under the GPLv2 and downloading them when someone
wants to build the library, that I guess ill not be made very often bu
the general public - but if you use a dynamically typed language and
want the interfaces build at runtime (like Javascript Swagger does)
you need to include the definitions in your software/library, and so
this end up affecting the licensing you can use. Basically anything
you do will have to be GPL then.

Tonight, I noticed that the Asterisk license specifies:

"In addition, Asterisk implements two management/control protocols: the
Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) and the Asterisk Gateway Interface
(AGI). It is our belief that applications using these protocols to
manage or control an Asterisk instance do not have to be licensed
under the GPL or a compatible license...."

Maybe the ARI and and its definition files should fall under these provisions.

Just my two cents
l.

(ari4java update: As of tonight, all objects deserialize okay,
including messages that are deserialized with their correct Java type
and interfaces) :)
