The source code IS available. Please do not spread FUD. You should probably take a look at https://github.com/digitallinx/vBilling before posting anymore about this really great software that a developer has graciously set into the world, free of charge and open source. -BDF (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.) On Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 6:10 PM, Zenny <garbytrash@gmail.com> wrote:
Isn't this open source? But the very front page of the vbilling.org site categorically claims the following:
"vBilling is the the first OPEN SOURCE billing platform for FreeSWITCH. With vBilling you can start your own calling card services, send SMS, conference call and voice mail and much more. You can even manage your existing wholesale or retail VoIP business. Because it’s all Open Source, vBilling will always be free and fast evolving. We have developed vBilling using simple architecture that is very easy to configure, so with just a few steps you can create and deploy a very strong billing platform utilizing the power of FreeSWITCH. You can also deploy wide range of telephony applications and services, including IP PBXs, VoIP gateways, call center, IVR systems and much much more."
And the header "why OPEN SOURCE?" in the same website states:
"We believe that OPEN SOURCE can simply create better and more powerful software. While everyone contributes, the software becomes more mature and stable. OPEN SOURCE software might be cheaper than alternatives, but it has many other business benefits, too. It is often said that open source software wins because it is cheaper. However, the bigger factor in the success of open source software in industry has been performance. Collaborative development projects have opened the door to much wider input than is the case in a closed development environment with subsequent improvements in price and performance. OPEN SOURCE reduces R&D costs, increases productivity, improves efficiency, facilitates interoperability and encourages innovation. This lead us for the open source model."
In that case, I am also interested to review the code, any links or hints about the source? Thanks!

I feel glad to announce the new release of *vBilling*, version 0.1.3. The first open source billing platform for FreeSWITCH. This versions has some major enhancements and supports many new features and bug fixes.
...and will not fail until the first (*noticed*) glitch. At that time, the admin have chances to spend many hours/days to manually track all errors - as the database makes no use of any referential integrity...
