</div>This is not about software logic, it's about legal issues and we can't take that discussion here, it's for<br>
Digium to make by themselves and we just have to respect their decision, whatever we think<br>
about it.<br>
<br>
We can create a community distribution based on GPL and we in the community can<br>
encourage as many as possible to use it - but it's their decision about the type of legal<br>
risc they consider it to be.<br>
<br>
Hopefully the issues that stop Digium from supporting it today will diminish so that<br>
Opus and VP8 can be included in the "official" distribution at some point - and then<br>
everything should be ready for some fast action.<br>
<br>
Digium has done everything they can for Asterisk - and more.<br>
This time it's the community that has to prove that we can handle the situation ;-)<br>
