many are not trying to find ways around the GPL but rather to clarify their 
usage/distribution of a GPLed program with sources. the manner in which 
freebsd downloads, patches and compiles asterisk and the digium GPL waiver 
to openssl/openh323 would seem that distributing asterisk (with sources) on 
a freebsd system is in violation.

somehow this just seems morally wrong for a licensing term to bar an 
operating system, and an open source one at that !
