You don't need to install asterisk-addons to be able to store CDRs; you 
need them to be able to store CDRs in MySQL specifically. If you choose 
another database that doesn't have licensing restrictions that interfere 
with usage of non-GPL modules, then you'll be fine. Asterisk 1.6.2.19 
includes CDR modules for PostgreSQL and FreeTDS (Microsoft SQL Server), 
and also generic ODBC support which can be used to connect to MySQL if 
you wish.
