Just FYI, MySQL stuff has been pulled from Asterisk since apparently now the client libraries are under GPL and not LGPL (and thus are incompatible with OpenH323). You may check out the MySQL code under "asterisk-addons", but you should not use both MySQL and OpenH323 (OpenSSL is also questionable) in the same Asterisk installation unless you downgrade your MySQL client libraries to a version that is before they GPL'd it. Sorry for the added inconvenience. I'm including the message from MySQL if any of you would like to try to encourage them to LGPL their client library again. Thanks!

I can't understand why that was necessary. I'll made it simple. Asterisk is GPL ? I think yes Mysql seems that now is GPL. OpenH323 isn't GPL. So since Oh323 break GPL license , seems that h323 should be moved to the addons packages ,since in that way it also breaks * GPL license. Asterisk + mysql are ok together, since both are GPL. I don't see any problems with that. Seems that I cannot use Asterisk (GPL) + Oh323 (not GPL), cause the latter. Asterisk (GPL) + MySQL (GPL) should be ok. Any comments? Or I'm terribly blind? Matteo.

Thanks!hmmm, Maybe this would be a good reason to step up to a postgres database for those apps since postgres is a BSD license, or at least that is what is in my copyright file in debian for postgres. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
What must be done for everyone software to be able to play on the same playground without the parents watching? bkw On Fri, 26 Sep 2003, Mark Spencer wrote:> Just FYI, MySQL stuff has been pulled from Asterisk since apparently now > the client libraries are under GPL and not LGPL (and thus are incompatible > with OpenH323).
