[Asterisk-Users] Re: www.openpbx.org

Personally, I believe it's a good thing. It gives more choice.

Look at other products: IPCop (Linux based firewall) is a fork derived from
Smoothwall. They made such a nice job that Smoothwall were playing catch-up
with IPCop for quite some time. I don't know the current situation.

GPL allows forking and forking is a form of evolution.
