We will, where appropriate, make it available via +a separate package which will only be usable when Asterisk is used completely +within GPL (i.e. not in conjunction with G.729, OpenH.323, etc). We +apologize for the confusion. + +You may find this in the new "asterisk-addons" package. + +Mark Spencer +Digium |
