think you were putting me down.  A little humor goes a log way.

It is immature and and is only at v1.0.  Give it time, and it will
blow Asterisk away, even more than it does now, plus there is no
reason to use

If you want to be a Freeswitch fanboy, that's fine, but please keep it off
this list.  This list is for usage questions of Asterisk, not for fanboyism of
other software projects.

Just to state the obvious: I don't normally use Uncyclopedia as a
reliable reference.

Anyway, have some http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Captain_Obvious_Cereal

It's not GPL. It's MPL. Somewhat comparable to LGPL. Though has a few
nasties clauses. For instance, it can be subverted by patents.
