+  Asterisk is distributed under GNU General Public License.  The GPL also
+must apply to all loadable modules as well, except as defined below.
 
+  Linux Support Services, Inc. retains copyright to all of the core
+Asterisk system, and therefore can grant, at its sole discression, the

+runtime with the portions of Asterisk which fall under our copyright
+umbrella, or are distributed under more flexible licenses than GPL.  At
+this time (5/21/2001) the only component of Asterisk which is covered
+under GPL and not under our Copyright is the Xing MP3 decoder.
+
+  If you wish to use our code in other GPL programs, don't worry -- there
+is no requirement that you provide the same exemption in your GPL'd
+products (although if you've written a module for Asterisk we would
+strongly encourage you to make the same excemption that we do).
