[Freeswitch-users] vBilling release announcement. Version 0.1.3

[Brian Foster]

I think we need a conference call session on what open source is. It's
actually pretty simple, though.

The difference between compiled and open source?
-They are two different things.

Open source software runs on any operating system
-Not true, as stated above. Believe it or not there's open source software
that runs on Windows only. Or Free/NetBSD only. I could go on.

It's not open source unless the developers have no way to make money from
it.
-Absolutely wrong. Many projects offer support services, training, and
sometimes they have a community edition and a paid edition.

If anyone has any questions concerning the differences between open and
closed source let me/us know. But, please please please, do not discredit a
developer and his project until you know the facts. Right now, this project
is in it's early days, and needs everything to go just right to make this a
successful project.
