* LICENSING
Asterisk is distributed under GNU General Public License and is also
available under alternative licenses negotiated directly with Digium, Inc.
If you obtained Asterisk under the GPL, then the GPL applies to all
loadable modules used on your system as well, except as defined below.
Digium, Inc. (formerly Linux Support Services) retains copyright and/or a
sufficient license to all components of the core Asterisk system, and therefore
can grant, at its sole discretion, the ability for companies, individuals, or
organizations to create proprietary or Open Source (but non-GPL'd) modules
which may be dynamically linked at runtime with the portions of Asterisk which
fall under our copyright/license umbrella, or are distributed under more
flexible licenses than GPL.
If you wish to use our code in other GPL programs, don't worry -- there
is no requirement that you provide the same exception in your GPL'd
products (although if you've written a module for Asterisk we would
strongly encourage you to make the same exception that we do).
Specific permission is also granted to OpenSSL and OpenH323 to link with
Asterisk.
If you have any questions, whatsoever, regarding our licensing policy,
please contact us.
Modules that are GPL-licensed and not available under Digium's
licensing scheme are added to the Asterisk-addons CVS module.
