RE: [Iaxclient-devel] codec support

[Steven S. <ss...@so...>]

I'd just look at asterisk's implementation for ideas [although not code,
because asterisk is GPL].


"I'm a bit fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing, Egon.  What do you mean bad."
I guess my understanding of GPL is a bit weak.  Is this to say that the code
in Asterisk can be freely used, and modified (so long as changes are
returned to Digium) but only when used as part of the whole?  I.e. the
libiax2 is LGPL and that allows it to be used as a separate library, but the
ilbc and speex codec code is simply more of Asterisk, so it can't be used in
iaxClient.
So, could we ask Mark if he would be willing to allow us to use the code, or
could we license it from him under some kind of code-sharing arrangement (if
that's possible under the LGPL license)?
I understand that Intellectual Property is important stuff.  I just find the
license sub-types confusing and frustrating.
Regs,
