<p>I think we need a conference call session on what open source is. It's actually pretty simple, though.</p>
<p>The difference between compiled and open source?<br>
-They are two different things.</p>
<p>Open source software runs on any operating system<br>
-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.</p>
<p>It's not open source unless the developers have no way to make money from it.<br>
-Absolutely wrong. Many projects offer support services, training, and sometimes they have a community edition and a paid edition.</p>
<p>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. </p>

<div dir="ltr">Folks,<br>vBilling is a real open source application. The fact that lua source was not published yet because we are rapidly working on updates. We will push the lua source in a few days once the product becomes more stable. *.bin files were compiled to get better performance. It is compiled bytecode only. <br>
<br>Currently we support CentOS and Debian based distros like Debian/Ubuntu. In future we are planning to add other distributions as well. Feel free to contribute if you would like to port vBilling to any other systems. It simply needs MySQL, a web server with php and FreeSWITCH to run. <br>
<br>Open Source does not means the product is supported by all operating systems. It may or may not be supported by just one or many operating systems. Can you or would like to install Open Source "Linux" on a windows operating system? :-)<br>
<br>I would appreciate if we can have constructive comments and community support to make this a success project.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Muhammad<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 4:10 PM, Thomas Hoellriegel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:admin@blindi.net" target="_blank">admin@blindi.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The question:<br>
Is vbilling really opensource?<br>
Open source products can be installed on all operating systems.<br>
I found the *.bin files only for debian ubuntu and centos.<br>
For example: gentoo, slackware, bsds, and others are not supportet.<br>
So much for open source.<br>
