I dont understand this. How is related that you give Digium a break,
with the fact
that I have the option of use sangoma, Digium or clone hardware?

MySQL is open source, but it is mainly ( only ) developed by the
company itself, so please dont contribute to the widely missuse of the
"open source" concept. Open Source does not mean free, Open Source
does not mean anyone is welcomed to contribute code.

Once again, the rules are not the main problem ( important factor
though ), the main problem are the technical differences.

Good for them!, more options for everyone.

Anton, honestly, this is the part that "rings" into my head. Digium
NEVER supported formally the development of Unicall, Unicall was NEVER
part of the formal Asterisk release or addons, so it was NEVER there!.
Unicall was only Steves project that happens to work with Asterisk. If
I write a channel driver, as long as I dont sign and fax a disclaimer
to Digium and is accepted, Digium does not have ANY responsibility
about my code, in this case Steve's code. Even AFTER this, please
execute this:

asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvr
show warranty

and if you have the free edition as I suppose you will see a BIG

NO WARRANTY

If you want more support BUY ( if you havent done already ) Asterisk
bussiness/enterprise edition.

Kind Regards and Good Look!
