Bret,

I think what probably started to upset people was that you appeared to
be saying "There is a problem with RFC2833 DTMF in Asterisk; I have
written a patch that fixes the problem, BUT, I'm not going to let any
of you have it because I have something against the GPL."

There is a bit of an inconsistency here too. If you dislike the GPL
enough to decline on principle to contribute to GPL projects, you ought
also to refrain from making any use of GPL software others have written.
You can't have it both ways without being hypocritical.

Cheers
Tony
