From 6b51f717a70331da9047c7ccde403222b79aeb29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Jordan <mjordan@digium.com> Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:53:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] LICENSE: Clarify language in Asterisk's LICENSE to allow for linking to UniMRCP The UniMRCP project distributes Asterisk modules that integrate Asterisk with UniMRCP, and other Asterisk users use the UniMRCP library as well. Unfortunately, the UniMRCP license is Apache 2.0, which per the Free Software Foundation, is not a compatible license with the GPLv2. "Please note that this license is not compatible with GPL version 2, because it has some requirements that are not in that GPL version. These include certain patent termination and indemnification provisions. The patent termination provision is a good thing, which is why we recommend the Apache 2.0 license for substantial programs over other lax permissive licenses." On the other hand, UniMRCP is a great project and we'd like to let people use it with Asterisk. This patch updates the LICENSE text to allow users to link Asterisk with UniMRCP and distribute the resulting binaries. ........
