I am not certain on the history of chan_sccp, but I believe it has 
undergone three separate devlopments and wouldn't disclaimers be 
required for all three of these stages? If disclaimers can be obtained 
(and I'm happy to disclaim my small contributions to chan_sccp), why not 
allow it to become part of asterisk, either completely or as a fork?

I think forking chan_sccp to anywhere other than asterisk will just 
exacerbate the current issue. Sergio has done a great job writing and 
managing the code, but I have noticed that the last few months seems to 
be more just bug fixes rather than the real development work that is 
still called for.

Sergio, maybe you could let us know what your ultimate plans for 
chan_sccp are? Unfortunately, if it doesn't appear viable that it will 
end up in the asterisk tree in a reasonable timeframe, I think I will 
have to agree with developing chan_skinny.
