- === Asterisk Add-on Modules ===
- ===============================================================================
- This document pertains to the modules that reside in the addons/
- subdirectory of the source tree. By default, these modules are not compiled
- and installed. If you choose to enable them, you must be aware of what
- potential licensing and/or patent implications that has on your usage and
- distribution of Asterisk.
- Even though Asterisk is released as open source under the terms of the
- GPLv2 (see LICENSE for details), no core functionality in Asterisk has any
- dependencies on libraries that are licensed under the GPL. One reason a module
- may be in the add-ons category is that it may have a GPL dependency. Since
- these dependencies are not compatible with dual licensing of Asterisk, the
- dependant modules are set aside to make it clear that they may not be used
- with commercial versions of Asterisk, unless other licensing arrangements are
- made with the copyright holders of those dependencies.
- Another reason that modules may be set aside is that there may be
- additional restrictions on the usage of the code imposed by the license or
- related patents. The MySQL and MP3 modules are examples of this.
- If you have any questions, contact your lawyer.
