[asterisk-biz] Digium G.729 codec binaries updatedfor Asterisk 1.4 on Solaris

[Bill Gibbs]

Now I am not the smartest person in the world nor is my memory like and
elephants but I seem to remember you shouting this in glee about Digum
and their violation a while ago.

The acknowledged it, fixed and moved on.

There is no need to have some weird satisfaction about a GPL violation
when the entire point of open source is communication and sharing of
code.  They made amends, let's all move on.  EVERYONE here is better off
because of Asterisk.

The fact that the license very clearly states that if you distribute a
program that uses it you *must* give credit to them, it uses the crypto
functions in validating the license file.  

The license isnt vague on this point.
http://www.openssl.org/source/license.html


 * 6. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the following
 *    acknowledgment:
 *    "This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project
 *    for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/)"


I did not see such a notice in the codecs, the register tool appears 
to have been updated, and kevin even commented on the fact they added 
a '-l' option to the register utility to make it compliant, because
originally it too was not compliant.

I fail to see why there would be any doubt in your mind on this issue.
