[asterisk-biz] Pulver media in trouble ?

[Steve Totaro]

Hmm, I guess maybe I was wrong.

Anyways, Sokol should just buy it back for next to nothing and take
the money and run.  They obviously had the wearwithall to do it well.

I am sure a grassroots "Astricon" (if Digium doesn't claim
infringment) would work too.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
