Hmmm.  The two versions of Asterisk that I and my customers use are both 
Open Source.

If, as you imply, Digium's current involvement/contribution to the 
codebase is minimal, then why couldn't you and others who believe like 
you do just fork from what is out there right now and just maintain and 
develop away, as a pure Open Source effort?

I'm not sure I understand why you're so worried, as the codebase we're 
using is in fact Open Source, and so it can be forked without worry 
about whatever Digium decides to do with "their" versions of it.
