Digium doesn't force anyone to do anything.  You are not required to 
have your patches put into Digium's source tree.  If you don't like the 
terms of the license then you don't have to use Asterisk nor do you have 
to contribute to Asterisk.

Which of the two DIFFERENT Digium disclaimers do you have a problem with?

http://www.digium.com/disclaim.changes
or
http://www.digium.com/disclaimer.txt

Anyone that gets caught by suprize should have read the disclaimer more 
carefully.
