Thanks for clarifying that.  I thought the same as Bret when I read
that.  I was not aware that you could use 'based on Asterisk'.  It
seemed to me that you could not use the work Asterisk at all unless it
is the genuine pure source, and that, marketing-wise, is not good.
I'm sure legal-wise it is good.
