[asterisk-users] Asterisk CLI Banner

[Haider Khalil]

Thank you Thorsten Göllner.
Matthew, 
What does violating license of Asterisk means ? Does it means I won't be able to use any commercial modules or asterisk commercially ? I thought it was open and anyone can change the code ?

      Hello Experts,
        

        
        I want to know if there is any way to modify welcome banner
          on asterisk console when I connect using "asterisk -r"
        

        
      
    
    

    Hi,

    

    did you compile asterisk from source? Take a look at main/asterisk.c
    (line 174 in asterisk v 11.5.1). I think you have to change it there
    manually and recompile it.

    

Please note that modifying the banner in main/asterisk.c may cause you to violate the licensing of Asterisk, specifically Section 1 of the GPL (if you distribute the modified source in any fashion) and/or Section 2c.


Unless you really know what you're doing with regards to software licensing, I would highly suggest not modifying the welcome message.
