Hi!

These licensing incompatibilities seem to be a big obstacle, because open source project selection is not based on quality, but on license type.

For some, MPL is important, but for the most of us, I guess, MPL or GPL makes no difference.

I had the same idea as Wasim’s to start a new subproject FreeSwitch Modules (Addons, Extras, etc), which could be GPL. The core and as much modules as possible will still be MPL. It feels wrong that there’s some good open source stuff out there (for example, FreeRadius), which we can’t integrate with, just because of the licensing!

perhaps we should have something like freeswitch-addons for items that are (pending) license or other issues ?

Well the interpreter is built and fully functioning w/ error checking.
I am just waiting back for the license

to have licensing woe's
come back on myself or the Freeswitch project.  Once I get a definitive
answer that we are good to
go I will be posting its in the trunk.
