Asterisk is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2
|
|
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 Asterisk modules used on your system as well,
|
|
except as defined below. The GPL (version 2) is included in this
|
|
source tree in the file COPYING.
|
|
|
|
This package also includes various components that are not part of
|
|
Asterisk itself; these components are in the 'contrib' directory
|
|
and its subdirectories. Most of these components are also
|
|
distributed under the GPL version 2 as well, except for the following:
|
|
|
|
contrib/firmware/iax/iaxy.bin:
|
|
This file is Copyright (C) Digium, Inc. and is licensed for
|
|
use with Digium IAXy hardware devices only. It can be
|
|
distributed freely as long as the distribution is in the
|
|
original form present in this package (not reformatted or
|
|
modified).
|
|
|
|
Digium, Inc. (formerly Linux Support Services) holds copyright
|
|
and/or sufficient licenses to all components of the Asterisk
|
|
package, and therefore can grant, at its sole discretion, the ability
|
|
for companies, individuals, or organizations to create proprietary or
|
|
Open Source (even if not GPL) 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 link Asterisk with OpenSSL, OpenH323
|
|
and/or the UW IMAP Toolkit and distribute the resulting binary files.
|
|
|
|
In addition, Asterisk implements two management/control protocols: the
|
|
Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) and the Asterisk Gateway Interface
|
|
(AGI). 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.
|
|

The 'Asterisk' name and logos are trademarks owned by Digium, Inc.,
|
|
and use of them is subject to our trademark licensing policies. If you
|
|
wish to use these trademarks for purposes other than simple
|
|
redistribution of Asterisk source code obtained from Digium, you
|
|
should contact our licensing department to determine the necessary
|
|
steps you must take. For more information on this policy, please read:
