[Adium-devl] Jingle, Sip and IAX2 in one step

[Brian West]

Just to clarify yes FreeSWITCH and everything used is MPL  
compatible.  LGPL, Public Domain, Apache License, BSD and BSD-Like  
along with GSM and ilbc which was take from OpenH323 as was LPC10 all  
are compatible with MPL as OpenH323 is MPL.  We could at our option  
allow you to use our Jingle code if needed an exception might be  
possible for you to use it under the terms of the LGPL.  We have to  
stick with MPL for our needs due to patented technologies like g.729,  
g.723.1 and AMR along with SS7 which are needed.  In addition an End  
user is free to combine incompatible code at their own freewill but  
they are limited by the terms of any license on distribution of the  
resulting work.
