It is still my plan to merge the work From stkn back into freetdm, but time has not permitted as of yet to get this done.

Technically OpenZAP/FreeTDM is BSD and compat with libpri but according to the greedy GPL, when you load it the GPL infects the whole code and makes it also GPL.  FS is MPL and is happily compat with OpenZAP/FreeTDM but there is a philosophical debate as to if the BSD lib in the middle that completely abstracts the 2 entities, protects FS from the GPL

I think stkn will merge his stack back into FreeTDM and it can continue to be developed for those who don't have Sangoma cards.
