that specifically was part of editline, if I were to distribute a binary
only version (legal under the gpl so long as I have a written offer good
for 3 years for code at cost basically) I need to include that to the
credits file or other suitable place.  Any advertising I do needs to
have  that as well should I advertise a feature (like the cli).

But there are other issues as well for example, section um 1? of the gpl
requires that when a copyright is displayed (like when you do 'asterisk
-r') you state that its GPL licensed (although not all of asterisk is so
licensed, some is lgpl like some cdr stuff, some like ilbc doesnt state
what license is valid only copyright notices) and that there is no
warantee unless one is provided.

I just wanted to know what I had to do to legally distribute asterisk to
my customers.
