Again (just to make sure the archives are clear on this), Mark is _not_ 
the sole holder of copyright to the source code in Asterisk.

Yes, he is the copyright holder for the majority of the code (that which 
he wrote). However, neither of the disclaimers actually are copyright 
assignments; the short form one disclaims all copyright interest, and 
the long form one only provides Digium an unrestricted license to 
use/distribute the code, it does not assign copyright.

Look through the headers of the source files in the tree... you will see 
many names besides Mark's that hold copyright to various portions.
