[Freeswitch-users] Problem with repository server?

[Brian :]

Freeswitch team sent this info out to mailing list.


Q: What is prompting this change?
A: We’re making this change for several reasons:
So the team that created and maintains FreeSWITCH can better understand and
communicate with our community.
So we can take what we learn and improve both FreeSWITCH and SignalWire.
So we can ensure that FreeSWITCH aligns with new security and regulatory
requirements.
So you can be confident that the packages you’re running in your stack come
directly from us.
So packages are much less likely to have been secretly modified by a
malicious actor.
So we can be sure that we’re not directly facilitating illegal use cases.

Q: What about the source code on GitHub?
A: This change does not affect open source code, which will continue to be
freely available on GitHub.

This does not in any way change the license to the software.

It may affect how you obtain FreeSWITCH dependencies or FreeSWITCH packages
from our package repositories such as our Debian repository.

Q: What does “packages” refer to? The commercial packages? The packages for
Debian etc.? Or the raw code/releases?
A: This refers to binary package repositories such as Debian repo.

If you have any further questions or concerns about this change, please
come to our Community Slack channel and let us know.
