[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Interface to propriotary system and GPL

[Shahed]

Hi All,

I am wondering if I will be breaking the GPL,
if I write for example, a channel driver or
make some modifications to the astrisk source code,
to interface at RUN TIME, through sockets, with
a proprietary system.

Eg.

1. I write chan_xxx + modify asterisk source
    (make changes + new code publicly  available)

2. chan_xxx supports hardware by XXX Corp.

3, XXX Corps interface  is proprietary.

4. I write a layer over XXX Corps API, that uses sockets,
    with the ONLY intent to BYPASS the GPL restrictions
    (If what I think about them are correct)

5. Asterisk now interfaces at runtime with XXX,
    but no library linking.

6. I sell the system, make all modifications available
     under GPL, but don't purchase any sort of license
     from Digium.

I looked at http://www.netrino.com/Articles/LinuxLaw/
and some ML posts, and it seems that perhaps I may be
somewhat correct ?


Please don't ask we why I would want to do this,
because this is a hypothetical situation.
I just want to clarify this, for maybe, future use.

Thanks
Shahed
