[asterisk-biz] Question about licensing of Asterisk

[Antoine Fressancourt]

Hello,

I have a question about Digium's policy around the commercialisation of
services built over the Asterisk platform.

We are thinking about building a set of services on top of the Asterisk
platform and selling them. We are now in trouble analyzing Digium's policy.
We plan to set up service platforms (specific configuration files, maybe
modules) and either :
- sell them as a hosted service,
- operate them in our client's network,
- distribute software we programmed on top of Asterisk.

In each cases, do we owe something to Digium ? Do we have to pay any license
to Digium (we will of course respect Digium's Trademark policy) as we may
only build our services on the GPL'ed version of Asterisk ?

How will this evolve in the future ? Will Digium change its policy about
Asterisk ?

Thank you in advance,

Antoine
