[Asterisk-doc] The Asterisk Handbook V2

[Steve Kennedy]

I found some errors in the Draft version of the V2 handbook.

on p2, stating "This document may not be duplicated, copied or
redistributed in any form electronic or physical, without the prior
written consent of Digium Inc." is a bit meaningless as the document is
distributed in PDF and you can download it and print it.

Maybe the wording should be changed such that it cant be changed etc
without permission, and can only be distributed in original form, with
all copyrights etc maintained.

Chapter 1

1.1

2nd para

Change to: -

Traditionally, telephony products are designed to meet a specific
technical need within a network, however many telephony applications
share a great deal of technology and Asterisk takes advantage of this
synergy to create a single hetrogenous environment that can be molded to
fit any particular application, or collection of applications, as the
user sees fit.

1.3 Licensing

2nd para

The GPL does not extend to hardware or software that Asterisk talks to,
e.g. a SIP soft phone client used as an Asterisk client does not need to
be distributed under GPL. Additionally AGI applications, which are simply
launched by Asterisk and communicates with them, may be covered by their
own licensing regimes.

3rd para

For those applications in which the GNU GPL is not appropriate (e.g. because
of some proprietry linkage), Digium Inc is solely capabable at their
discression of licensing Asterisk outside the terms of the GPL. For
further information on Asterisk licensing, please contact
sales@digium.com.


I'd guess more to follow.
