[Asterisk-Users] SysMaster and GPL Violation

Ok Guys... I started this whole thread in hopes of one of two things.

1. Hope that SysMaster does the right thing and pays digium the boat load of
money they are entitled to.

2. Or comply with the GPL.

In my eyes either way is a good thing.  I personally do not care about the
disclaimer at all it's the glue that holds the puzzle together.   If my work
is in CVS and Digium sells it big woop... I just hope that company does the
right thing and pays for that right.  My goal was not to piss anyone off or
cause anyone any troubles.   If I were someone that paid for SysMaster
thinking it was the cats meow then finds out its just Asterisk with some
mods under the hood I would be pretty pissed because those boxes are 10-45k
(Depending on what you want)  at that rate they can afford to pay the
license fees.   

I think that's the only fair thing to do...  I don't speak for Digium and if
I implied that then I'm sorry I'm just a user and a developer that thinks
this is unacceptable behavior for any company (ie SysMaster).
