The majority of open source projects out are NOT run by commercial institutions... they are run by people committed to a better product (not to making money)... they are maintained by people who have the resources to host a repository (which does not take a lot of resources) and a community of dedicated people who want to advance the product (and again NOT make money)... what people do with the product is their decision and if they want to use to it make money that is perfectly acceptable, but "commercial support" or "commercial addons" provided by the "maintainers" (who are obviously chosen and paid by Diguim in this case) of an opensource product is obscene. Digium has a monopoly on asterisk and if you can't get something to work, that means more money for them, if they break something you may end up paying them $$ to fix it.<br>

It isn't any better than the so called t.38 support in Asterisk that<br>
only drops calls. Gee I wonder why, maybe so they can sell their fax<br>
product?<br>
