[Asterisk-Users] Help with GPL license of Asterisk

[Matthew Hardeman]

I would imagine that it would boil down to the niceties of having one
source tree for the core product, regardless of license chosen?

Just a guess.

I would also like some more info on this whole mysql being taken out of
the core asterisk install.  I understand its because of the dual lic.
that
digium has.. gpl and comercial... why can't mysql be non-existant in the
comercial version.  Then mysql would be compatible with asterisk?!?  Or
am
I wrong about this...  Because I don't recall Open Source software
having
this much drama.
