[Freeswitch-users] ooH323 vs mod_h323

[Steven Ayre]

Indeed comparing the COPYING files, the Asterisk one lacks the FLOSS
exception. So that version isn't usable, and neither is copying their
patches into the 0.9.4 version since they'd be GPL-only.

So while 0.9.4 would be usable, it'd lack some useful functionality (Q.931
causes are just the one I spotted from a 5 minute glance through the API).
