[asterisk-users] asterisk-gplonly dependency in asterisk-addons RPM

[Chris Miller]

It seems that asterisk-addons and one or more of Digium's licensed 
modules such as res_fax_digium have a conflict that doesn't seem to 
be documented anywhere I can find.

In a nutshell, asterisk14-addons-core has a fake provide for 
asterisk-gplonly :

#
#  core subpackage
#
%package core
Summary: Asterisk-addons core package.
Group: Utilities/System
Provides: asterisk-gplonly
Provides: asterisk-addons-core
Obsoletes: asterisk-addons-core
Requires: asterisk14-core


The Digium licensed packages look for this package and prevent 
installation :

---> Package asterisk14-res_fax.i386 1:1.4_1.0.14-1_centos5 set to 
be updated
---> Package asterisk14-res_fax_digium.i386 1:1.4_1.0.11-1_centos5 
set to be updated

A comment in the spec file would have been nice... Does anyone know 
if this a real technical issue, or simply a licensing conflict 
between GPL and Digium?
