Jeremy,

Once again, you making specious arguments. I asked you yesterday, is this
"asterisk developer's" mailing list or is this "digium marketing" list.

Once again, where will you draw the line for the *code* that is beneficial
for asterisk users globally yet may result in lost revenue for Digium?

Where does 'giving consideration' start and where does it end? Does 
'giving consideration' mean that one cannot provide for free services that 
Digium makes money on?
