[Asterisk-Users] SysMaster and GPL Violation

[Paul Rodan]

Damn it. Sorry guys (and girls), this wasn't supposed to go here. 

I accidentally selected the wrong list from the drop down outlook presented
me when I began to type "asterisk-"

This is commercial related and I have sent it to the asterisk-biz list.
Sorry for the inconvenience. However, if anybody has an answer to the
question below, I'm interested.

I concur. This thread needs to end. 

I think Sysmaster's smartest move is to pay for the commercial license; but
I can wish that they'd just release the source code to their very impressive
web interface and other additions :-) 

It doesn't matter what any of us think though, it's Digium's software, it's
their decision on how they wish to proceed. I'm sure by the length of this
thread, they're aware of it and have already made a decision on their next
course of action.

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).
