[Asterisk-biz] [Asterisk-Users] IAX2 web client that workswithg723 / g729. We got One

[Steve Kann]

That's exactly the point.

I think it's 90% likely that Andres' project uses iaxclient, and 98% 
likely that it uses libiax2. If this is the case, he needs to comply 
with the licensing terms of these libraries. Specifically, he would need 
to make the source code to his version of these libraries publicly 
available.

Most people who work with iaxclient know that I'm not personally 
interested in much of anything "windows only", and I don't use any 
Microsoft tools to develop things, but I do want to see people 
collaborate, and I specifically do _not_ want to see people taking 
without at least making their work available, as required by the license.

I'd probably prefer even more if some of the people working on different 
GUIs would team up so that instead of having X different GUIs, there 
were X/3 GUIs that were 3 times as good, but I suspect that 
consolidation will happen in time..

As far as this particular case, I could be wrong, and Andres could have 
written everything from scratch, but, the sentiment would apply either way.
