GPL should be sufficient.  I went over it during my lunch 
break.  Seems like the users have more rights than the 
Authors. :)  Basically what it comes down to is that 
anyone can use/modify it in any way, as long as they 
release it GPL as well.  I found it to be quite lax on 
restrictions for use/distribution to be honest.

It also means that if it's modified, I can't be blamed for 
anything, which is all I'm worried about.  Given that it 
is a separate entity to Asterisk, it should not use LGPL 
as it is not a library.
