[Freeswitch-users] Open Source unified autodialer software released

Tue Aug 28 17:59:34 MSD 2012

Hi Anthony

Front end of both applications  was developed over Drupal CMS ( which is
licensed as GPLv2 OR Later version) using Plivo API's   therefore possible
options were to release the code in GPLv2 or  GPLv3 also in past  you
recommended to release the code  in GPL

LGPL or GPL are ok for your case, AGPL is a little scary.
>

I have no concern to release the code in any open source license but my
understanding that we can release Drupal based code only in GPLv2 OR GPLv3
and can not release the code in other open source license

Looking for your comments

Regards
