[Asterisk-Users] IAX aproprietary protocol

[Marc Storck]

>>>How can proprietary protocol be open protocol?
>>
>>Proprietary means it came from a proprietor - Digium in this case. This 
>>is a completely unrelated issue to whether it is open. Marketing 
>>departments try to confuse the issues. :-)
> 
> 
> So if the protocol is not encumbered by any patent or copyright (only by
> missing documentation) it shouldn't be referred as proprietary as it
> only confusing and hurts the cause.
> 
> Laziness of others (to write the documentation or implement the
> protocol) should not qualify to label the IAX2 as proprietary.
> 
> Even WIKI is confusing the cause calling it proprietary without any
> valid reason :-)

> I think that should be corrected!
