Please don't make comments like this without understand the actual 
situation; it only serves to confuse the issue.

Anyone can sell a distribution of OpenPBX, since the GPL gives them that 
right. Those distributions must be licensed under the GPL, though, which 
means all the GPL restrictions would be in place (source availability, 
no linking to non-GPL libraries, etc.).

Nobody can distribute a non-GPL licensed copy of the Asterisk source 
code or binaries made from it _except_ Digium without violating the GPL 
under which they received it.
