The source code IS available. Please do not spread FUD. You should probably take a look at <br><a href="https://github.com/digitallinx/vBilling">https://github.com/digitallinx/vBilling</a> before posting anymore about this really great software that a developer has graciously set into the world, free of charge and open source.<div>
<br></div><div>-BDF</div><div><br></div><div>(And, please, if you are going to rant about someone's software, get your facts right first. Also, show some respect and don't do it on the developer's release announcement. It's just common courtesy.)</div>

Isn't this open source? But the very front page of the <a href="http://vbilling.org" target="_blank">vbilling.org</a><br>
site categorically claims the following:<br>
<br>
"vBilling is the the first OPEN SOURCE billing platform for<br>
FreeSWITCH. With vBilling you can start your own calling card<br>
services, send SMS, conference call and voice mail and much more. You<br>
can even manage your existing wholesale or retail VoIP business.<br>
Because it’s all Open Source, vBilling will always be free and fast<br>
evolving. We have developed vBilling using simple architecture that is<br>
very easy to configure, so with just a few steps you can create and<br>
deploy a very strong billing platform utilizing the power of<br>
FreeSWITCH. You can also deploy wide range of telephony applications<br>
and services, including IP PBXs, VoIP gateways, call center, IVR<br>
systems and much much more."<br>
<br>
And the header "why OPEN SOURCE?" in the same website states:<br>
<br>
"We believe that OPEN SOURCE can simply create better and more<br>
powerful software. While everyone contributes, the software becomes<br>
more mature and stable.<br>
OPEN SOURCE software might be cheaper than alternatives, but it has<br>
many other business benefits, too. It is often said that open source<br>
software wins because it is cheaper. However, the bigger factor in the<br>
success of open source software in industry has been performance.<br>
Collaborative development projects have opened the door to much wider<br>
input than is the case in a closed development environment with<br>
subsequent improvements in price and performance. OPEN SOURCE reduces<br>
R&D costs, increases productivity, improves efficiency, facilitates<br>
interoperability and encourages innovation. This lead us for the open<br>
source model."<br>
<br>
In that case, I am also interested to review the code, any links or<br>
hints about the source? Thanks!<br>
