<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If you really want to pursue
this...then the original holder of the intellectual property
rights to Asterisk and issuer of the GPL (Digium) should be
contacted and your concerns made known regarding release of the
source code, which is required when executables are released. I
am assuming that the rights to the app-rpt module are, like the
core, GPL'd, but held by the inheritor of Jim's IP. Now, they can
re-write from scratch the repeater module, but if they are basing
it on the non-commercial Open Source version of Asterisk, then
Digium's restrictions and requirements should be respected. <br>
<br>
That's what Digium has counsel for. It's not up to us, per se, to
manage, but the holder of the intellectual property rights to the
software. We can flail around and stamp our feet, but, in reality
have no standing to force the issue--Digium does--which is why
complaints to the other party get blown off. So, if it is THAT
important, the owner of the rights (and it's not us, not the other
party) should be consulted as to how THEY will enforce their
intellectual property right.<br>
<br>
Just a thought. I'm not an intellectual property (or other)
lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. But, I stayed in a Holiday Inn
once. <br>

Absolutely not. We all benefit from the work Mark
Spencer and many others did in creating Asterisk.
Those folks released Asterisk under the GPL, which
obligates EVERYBODY who uses Asterisk as a base to
build something else to in turn release the source
code.<br>
<br>
If you refuse to release your source code, you may NOT
use Asterisk. If you don't want to release your code,
go write your own Asterisk.</blockquote>
