I see the following paragraph in the Asterisk trunk LICENSE file:<br>
<br>
"In addition, Asterisk implements two management/control protocols: the<br>
Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) and the Asterisk Gateway Interface<br>
(AGI). It is our belief that applications using these protocols to<br>
manage or control an Asterisk instance do not have to be licensed<br>
under the GPL or a compatible license, as we believe these protocols<br>
do not create a 'derivative work' as referred to in the GPL. However,<br>
should any court or other judiciary body find that these protocols do<br>
fall under the terms of the GPL, then we hereby grant you a license to<br>
use these protocols in combination with Asterisk in external<br>
applications licensed under any license you wish."<br>
<br>
This probably originated some years ago, and I wonder if Digium or the<br>
Asterisk<br>
community might consider adding the OTHER management/control protocols to<br>
this<br>
list: ARI, and the ExternalIVR interface.<br>
<br>
If not, it might be instructive to learn why!<br>
<br>

Would also like to see this update to include ARI. We talked a little about it at astridevcon, and I think it is likely an oversight.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>

We had the Thanksgiving holiday; then I was out last week at AdhearsionConf (great conference!). The licensing file will get updated before 12 is released.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">As an aside, we also had conversations about it on the asterisk-app-dev list [1], where I responded that I would get answers to the licensing questions. Granted, it has been much longer than a week or two - mea culpa on a bad time estimate.<br>
