Hi Pascal,
IANAL, but following is my understanding. Please folks, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi
I have read carefully the licensing page of sip-router (
http://sip-router.org/licensing/ ) and I still have some doubts.
So, as an excuse to start my first discussion in this forum, here is my
two-fold question:
a) my company wants to sell a SIP based platform to its customers. The
solution includes, hardware, some proprietary applications and a SIP
application using sip-router as a SIP proxy/Registrar
b) my company wants to provide the same service in an ASP model.
In both cases, I would like to understand what my company should pay to
sip-router "owners" if there is any royalty to be paid and what are the
consequences to the license and my company source code.
You are free to use SR for commercial use (provide service with it or
even embed it in a product).
In both cases, I would like to understand
1) If my company must pay any royalty or other cost to the SIP-Router
"owners"
2) If the code developed by my company on top of SIP-Router must also be
licensed under the same SIP-Router licence "
As far as I understand:
- code derived from GPL, must be GPL (you can't change it and sell it
without supplying the source-- you have copyright for your new code)
- code derived from BSD, could be propietary
Cheers,
