i'm failing to understand this. person A downloads asterisk from 
www.asterisk.org, links in open{ssl,h323} and this is ok.

person B downloads asterisk from www.asterisk.org, modifies some GPLed 
asterisk code, links in open{ssl,h323} and distributes sources to the whole 
shebang (including the modifications) , and this is not ok ?

i dont think this is the way the GPL and the linking waiver works, but then 
IANAL either.
