[Asterisk-Biz] SS7 available for Asterisk

[Alex Pui]

Jeremy,

I confess that I am not expert on GPL. But by reading the following link, I
still don't find which part gave Digium and only Digium the right to make
money on Asterisk licensing?

I think for once, Alex, you and I agree on something.

I also want to point out that anybody can make money using and improving 
Asterisk. Only if you want/need to hold on to the source code for any 
reason, you have to work with Digium to get a non-gpl license (as is the 
case with SS7 and G.729)

People that have a problem with the commercial deployment of Asterisk 
very simply do not understand the GPL.
Some light 'office' reading material:  http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
