Im not that convinced.. I believe it would do * good to finally accept that
it is in fact a split project allready - one digium-non-gpl-branch payed for
by digium customers, and one gpl-branch for everyone else.

More importantly, however, it would allow for more contributions, and more
evenly split workload for the participating developers.

Solution 3) does this also - and is perhaps better, since it wouldnt
alienate the digium folks, who have done one heck of a job so far.

But solution 1) or 2) would in the long run have the same problems we have
today - and are only superior if combined with 3) or 4) (IMHO).
