Why would you expect a single paragraph in the Asterisk source tree to 
have a complete description of Digium's commercial licensing options? It 
wouldn't even make sense for that to be in the source tree, disregarding 
that commercial license terms are typically negotiated with each 
customer based on their unique situation.

Your last question doesn't make any sense; you are asking us if usage of 
GPLv2-licensed software is illegal in your country? We don't even know 
what country you live in, and even if we did, the answer to that 
question is something you need to obtain from people who clearly 
understand your country's laws.
