If you're interested, take a closer look. chan_sip.c, some time ago. 
Miscellaneous bug fixes. But a whole lot, and not for a long time.

The reason for the "not for a long time" is because I feared that Digium
would create a proprietary version. The disclaimers seemed to explicitly
allow for that.

It was claimed at the time that this wouldn't happen, but now it apparently
has. Unfortunately.

Though I may have written bluntly, the fact that people are resorting
to ad hominem attacks, suggests that I have a point.
