| Comments: | By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2005-11-09 17:29:56.000-0600 That's entirely a Debian issue, not for Asterisk. Debian is perfectly free to repackage however they like, but Digium already has exceptions in their license for certain packages, and the FPM music is one of those exceptions. | ||
