[Asterisk-Dev] asterisk application license

Hi Dmitry,

As per the GPL, anything that is linked to Asterisk at runtime must be
released as GPL or lesser.  I'm pretty sure that if you want to sell an
Asterisk app of any kind you'll have to negotiate with Digium about getting
a commercial license (that's why some people refer to the GPL as being
"viral").

I'm interesting in license usage for asterisk applications.

Should all new application like app_skel.c required to be released under GPL
or they can be non open source too in some case?

What about AGI scripts? Can they be non open source?

Thanks,
Dmitry
