Asterisk - SySmaster?

[sadzas]

Hi!

I was looking for information about Sysmaster and I this is what I found!!!

I have had a few customers inquire about sysmaster’s usage of Asterisk. One of them granted me access to his system, to determine what was under the hood. All I had to do was crack open the computer, pull the hard drive, jack it into my own Linux box and mount it.

After a very quick scan of the hd, which is a pretty typical, yet minimal,
Linux OS, I found the ‘voipgw’ application.

Here is a selected portion of the strings output:

So guys!!?? What do you think about that??

[ianplain]

So What, many IP systems are Based on Asterisk. Whats your point !

[sadzas]

Whats your point

What about GPL licenses?

[davevg]

Did the owner of the sysmaster box request the source code for whatever gpl applications from them and was denied? Or, another possibility, is that they are licensing it from Digium. The CVS version of asterisk… is very… old…

[ianplain]

What about GPL licenses?

Wow I didnt see that coming

Have a read of the following

digium.com/en/products/softw … ensing.php

Then email sysmaser and Digium to check what licence they have

But you also may want to look at all the other IP pbxs and add them to you list as well.

[sadzas]

Enough!!!

I will sell sadzas-PBX !!!

Hi

There is no problem with that, Just make sure that you either release the source for any changes you make, or get a licence.
You can call it what ever you like.
