We know Steve, we talk to him on a daily
basis. He has helped us in several ways with this project, but there is NO
CHANCE he will do anything to change the license of spandsp or unicall. It has
been discussed before and it will not happen. If we make a script that
downloads gpl code and links to our project, it’s probably still a gpl violation,
maybe not to the letter of it, but some folks would say so. We have no
interest in “working around” qwirks in the licenses our friends use
on their software to make them compatible. If we use spandsp with freeswitch,
it will only be within the spirit and intention of the license, as a stand
alone app that speaks most likely sip/udptl/rtp/t38. We have discussed this in
the past and it is still a possibility. As for mfcr2, I’ll throw the
same comment out that brian did on pri. If anyone has an mfcr2 stack they
would like to donate, we are more than happy to work with you to integrate it
into freeswitch.

mfcr2
Do you think Steve would be willing to
re-release his stack under LGPL? At least that way it could be included
as a binary. Otherwise maybe someone could write a shell script that
operates as part of the install process – it could do the heavy lifting
of wget-ting the stack source, make/make install-ing it, etc. Just a
thought.
