It is our belief +that applications using these protocols to manage or control an Asterisk +instance do not have to be licensed under the GPL or a compatible license, +as we believe these protocols do not create a 'derivative work' as referred +to in the GPL. However, should any court or other judiciary body find that +these protocols do fall under the terms of the GPL, then we hereby grant you a +license to use these protocols in combination with Asterisk in external +applications licensed under any license you wish. |
