[Freeswitch-users] Re- Freetdm version inside FreeSWITCH

[Michael Jerris]

Sangoma has direct commit access to our tree to commit these changes.  In the past they pushed the changes directly in on a regular basis, you would have to ask them in what way they have changed this approach.

However when I look at the source to ftmod_wanpipe.c (for example) their version (freetdm-1.9.0) has the following header: Copyright (c) 2007-2012, Anthony Minessale II vs. FreeSWITCH current version: Copyright (c) 2007-2014, Anthony Minessale II.  Obviously there are other additions/changes done by Sangoma (including the Open Circuit alarm skipping).
