Hi
I'm not sure I understand this so I'll ask here:
Is there a legal issue with adding cdr_mysql support to the Debian
Asterisk package?
Please corrent me if I'm wrong here:
- Asterisk may be distributed under the terms of the GPL or under the
terms of a modified-GPL: the GPL with some provisions to allow a
number of libraries to be linked with it.
- One of those libraries is openh323, whose license is MPL (incompatible
wit hthe GPL)
- Thus if I want to link with openh323 I need to have asterisk licensed
with the modified GPL (or an alternative license from Digium, which is
not an option here)
- the mysql client libraries are licensed under the terms of the GPL.
Thus it is illegal to link asterisk with a modified-GPL license to
together with mysql client libraries.
Hopefully I'm wrong somewhere...
