Now it is very good that we all get concerned about Asterisk not being 
violated. But it's up to Digium, who knows who it has sold a commercial 
license to and not, to take that action. 

The correct thing to do is to notify Digium and let them decide what if any 
should be done. We don't even know who is licensed what way, and this is just 
creating a vigilante movement based on insufficient knowledge.

Further, for Digium to present a list of who does have a commercial license 
would not be in their interest as that can undermine the customers marketing 
plans and effective use of their license.

So chill out and wait to hear from Digium, don't get into the middle of a 
legal scene you know nothing about.
