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: > > > > [root at localhost ~]# strings voipgw | grep Mark > > Written by Mark Spencer > > [root at localhost ~]#strings voipgw | grep CVS > > Asterisk CVS-05/30/03-20:39:27 built by admin at SysMaster on a i686 running > > Linux > > CVS-05/30/03-20:39:27 > > Asterisk CVS-05/30/03-20:39:27, Copyright (C) 2000-2002, Digium. > > Asterisk CVS-05/30/03-20:39:27, Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Linux Support > > Services, Inc. > > [root at localhost ~]# strings voipgw | grep Asterisk > > Asterisk IO Dump: %d entries, %d max entries > > Asterisk Schedule Dump (%d in Q, %d Total, %d Cache) > > Started Asterisk Event Logger > > Asterisk Event Logger Started > > Restarted Asterisk Event Logger > > Asterisk Event Logger restarted > > Asterisk Dynamic Loader Starting: > > -= Registered Asterisk Alternative Switches =- > > -= Registered Asterisk Applications =- > > Asterisk PBX Core Initializing > > Asterisk CVS-05/30/03-20:39:27 built by admin at SysMaster on a i686 running > > Linux > > Asterisk %s cancelled. > > Asterisk %s ending (%d). > > Asterisk ending (%d). > > Preparing for Asterisk restart… > > Restarting Asterisk NOW… > > Exit Asterisk > > Shut down Asterisk imediately > > Gracefully shut down Asterisk > > Restart Asterisk immediately > > Restart Asterisk gracefully > > Restart Asterisk at empty call volume > > Disconnected from Asterisk server > > Connected to Asterisk %s currently running on %s (pid = %d) > > Asterisk CVS-05/30/03-20:39:27, Copyright (C) 2000-2002, Digium. > > -r Connect to Asterisk on this machine > > Asterisk CVS-05/30/03-20:39:27, Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Linux Support > > Services, Inc. > > Asterisk already running on %s.

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… ---

> [@](#): > > What about GPL licenses? Wow I didnt see that coming 😉 Have a read of the following [digium.com/en/products/softw … ensing.php](http://www.digium.com/en/products/software/licensing.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.

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. Ian
