[Asterisk-biz] distribution of asterisk

[trixter aka Bret McDanel]

I was looking in the code and became concerned with the state of
asterisk using software without complying to the various licenses
invovled.  I was wondering if anyone had any documentation on all the
changes that are required so I can distribute it legally.

For example there is code taken from NetBSD as well as the Regents of
California and it is required that credit be given.  Specifically their
license states in part:
 * 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above 
      copyright notice, this list of conditions and the 
      following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other 
      materials provided with the distribution.
 * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of 
      this software must display the following acknowledgement:
      This product includes software developed by the 
      University of California, Berkeley and its contributors.

I dont want to be a code thief and use software without following all of
the appropriate licenses.  Since these names dont appear anywhere in the
credits file I will have to make my own notices to be compliant with
their licenses.  There are some other issues elsewhere as well I was
just wondering if anyone had actually documented them anywhere.
