[asterisk-dev] Asterisk Appliance?

> We do not design 'GPL' hardware, nor did we use any of David Rowe's work in designing our hardware. The appliance uses our existing 1- and 4-port analog modules, has an onboard Ethernet VLAN switch, onboard hardware echo cancellation, and will actually be a shipping, tested, EMI certified product :-)

I guess actually these projects conceptually and architecturally
similar. The main differences are in brand, price and approach :).

> If others want to produce a comparable piece of hardware (although I fail to see how the GPL applies to a piece of hardware) and make its design available for free they are certainly welcome to do so.

In this case it would be great if Digium officially open the
architecture of this platform, it's not necessary to open the hardware
itself.
