as do many, through the purchase of TDM/TE4XXP cards. in reality, i think 
we're still a long ways off from a pure VoIP network, and interconnect to 
the TDM trunk networks (E1s, FXOs, FXSs) would still be needed for quite a 
few years.

but if the licensing/trademark thing is going to prevent people from being 
able to service a customer, then it would be difficult to support digium 
financially by using the TDM and TE4XXP cards especially since some 
customers need spandsp and H.323 together.

i can understand that digium is trying to practice a "Do No Evil" google 
type of policy, but selective trademark enforcement and ambiguity in the 
waiver is not enough. it needs to be clear what is allowed and what is not 
allowed for third party ISVs and integrators to do to the source.
