Not quite.  This is a specific set of CVS with NO NEW FEATURES that is not 
released under GPL.

There is nothing in ABE that is not also in HEAD.  All ABE is is a specific 
snapshot that they maintain independently.  You just don't get to know 
exactly what the binary doesn't have.

Asterisk is dual-licensed.  Always has been.

Others have commented on this, so I'll refrain short of saying you need some 
serious clue.  I'm not sure I see your name in any of the CVS commit logs, so 
other than whinging on about it, what really do you have to say?
