[Asterisk-Users] Sangoma VS. Digium

[mattf]

Hello,

I need to correct myself on one of the points I made in my reply last night.
As a very polite developer from Sangoma stated to me(with evidence I might
add)they have in the past and continue to today contribute code to GPL
Asterisk. It doesn't say so on their website but their developers have been
bug-checking, patching and contributing new code to Asterisk for some time
now. They just started directly giving credit from Sangoma for some of these
contributions in the bugtracker starting this week. While it is true that
they probably don't have as many full-time dedicated Asterisk developers as
Digium does, a portion of a Sangoma AFT card purchase will go towards
further development of Asterisk. So you can feel a little less-bad about
buying those Sangoma cards now.

My understanding is that to an extent when we buy Sangoma we're putting 
the dagger to Digium.  They're glad to use Asterisk as a selling point 
for their hardware, but unwilling to donate anything back to the 
Asterisk community.

I'll be glad to stand corrected, but if that assertion is in fact true, 
we should be careful to do things that actually damage Digium's ability 
to leverage their development of Asterisk with their hardware sales.

FWIW.
