Show me in the GPL where it states that I am required to support the code? 

The code is released without cost, but do not EXPECT support to come 
without cost.  I have spent countless hours in the channel supporting 
chan_h323 and most of the time all I get is a "Thank you", which is 
perfectly fine, but they treated me with a certain level of respect, you 
haven't.

Then there are those generous people who have donated money in support 
of chan_h323, which I directly support and have even implemented custom 
features, which I personally felt weren't suitable for mainline 
distribution, but I did it anyway because they supported my effort. This 
is why open-source works.

Everyone needs to realize, I could have VERY EASILY paid Digium for 
NON-GPL licenses and chan_h323 would have NEVER been released and we 
would not be having this worthless discussion  today, but then what kind 
of H.323 support would asterisk have?  I'll let everyone make their own 
decision on which H.323 channel driver to run, I certainly know which 
one I run.

P.S. Roy, RTFM.  Other's have and they've gotten it to work.
