Not a battle we should be worried about, I’m thinking.
If David for IRLP or Digium (who I believe holds the copyright on Asterisk; open source does not mean it’s public domain, just that you’re obliged to follow a specific set of license requirements in the GPL from the Open Software Foundation) don’t want to enforce their rights (or may not even know that their rights are being infringed), then there is really nothing we can do about it, other than to take the high road and be sure OUR house is in order.
IOW, it’s up to the OSF, Dave Cameron, and the legal owner of the Asterisk copyright to enforce, if they even know.

I recently had a discussion with David
Cameron about a simulcast and voting project. While talking to
him, I asked if he had reconsidered his decision to disallow IRLP
support in app_rpt. In no uncertain terms has he changed his
mind. He doesn't want that code in Asterisk/app_rpt - - period.
HamVoip includes code that goes against the creator of IRLP, but
it doesn't seem to matter what other people think/want. They are
doing their own thing - for better or worse.
While the "official" distribution of AllStar/Asterisk/app_rpt has
not kept up with the times - times have changed.

There's something unstable about that guy.

HamVoIP is not Allstar, and they do not make their source
available. This is
illegal and and an attack on our community values. It's
rather sad, I'm sure
Jim would be spinning in his grave over this.
The people behind HamVoIP are actively involved in copyright
infringement and
are stealing from the community. They have made many
changes that break
things (channel drivers, etc) in non-standard ways. As it's
closed source
they could be embedding anything (bitcoin miners, bots,
etc.) and you'd never
be the wiser.
Allstar is based on sharing and writing code that benefits
all of the
community, and when a group violates that it's an affront to
the entire user base.
Install the Allstar code, either from source or via apt-get
and give it a try.
If your still seeing issues please report back, the
developers are here :)
