The q931cause parameter gets added in this revision:

http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk?view=revision&revision=227898

Which as you can see is rather a large commit - they fix a lot of other issues too. q931cause alone means changing quite a lot of code though - 11 times in 6 different files, plus the modified functions that it appears within. It means changing ooHangCall, the parameters for the command on the stack, ooH323HangCall, storing q931cause on the call, and then setting it during the actual hangup.

How intense are their patches? The reason I ask is that while a blind C&P of their patches into the recent version would most likely result in a GPL violation, looking at what the code does and mimicking the functionality with new code most certainly would not result in a violation. (GPL covers "derivation" but not "inspiration" as it were. It's the whole copyright "idea" vs. "expression" dichotomy...)

Anyway, I was just curious what's involved. Possibly other interested parties would be in a position to help out.

Indeed comparing the COPYING files, the Asterisk one lacks the FLOSS exception. So that version isn't usable, and neither is copying their patches into the 0.9.4 version since they'd be GPL-only.

So while 0.9.4 would be usable, it'd lack some useful functionality (Q.931 causes are just the one I spotted from a 5 minute glance through the API).

I was just looking at this library to play with the idea of writing a mod_ooh323c. It looks like the library may have forked away from the version used in Asterisk though?

The latest version on the website (http://www.obj-sys.com/telephony-objective.shtml) is 0.9.4, but cannot hangup with a Q.931 hangup cause. The CVS repository (sourceforge.net/projects/ooh323c) doesn't seem up-to-date since that's only holding 0.9.0.

The version in asterisk has been patched to add a q931cause parameter to ooHangCall so it can - but it seems to be based off 'v0.8.3m' and I don't know if that's before the FLOSS exception was added.

So does anyone more familiar with the library know whether the repository had been moved elsewhere, or whether there's a more recent version somewhere else, and whether the one bundled in Asterisk would be usable?

It has a FLOSS exception in the GPL license.
