I think Kevin or Mark has to answer this, but I think that the - 
addons code is still disclaimed, but isn't compatible
with the commercial licensing due to licenses in other Open Source  
packages. I don't think that addons contains
code that is not disclaimed to Digium.

I would appreciate a clarification on this from Digium!
