<div dir="ltr">Hello, <br>
I have a question about the license of Kamailio. <br>
<br>
It is said to be GPL in <a href="https://www.kamailio.org/w/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.kamailio.org/w/</a>:<br>
"<span style="color:rgb(19,113,23);font-family:"Open
Sans",Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:italic;text-align:justify;text-indent:16px">Kamailio</span><span
style="box-sizing:border-box;font-size:12px;line-height:0;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(19,113,23);font-family:"Open

style="color:rgb(19,113,23);font-family:"Open
Sans",Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:italic;text-align:justify;text-indent:16px"> (successor
of former OpenSER and SER) is an Open Source SIP Server
released under GPL, able to handle thousands of call setups
per second....</span>"<br>
<br>
But GPLv2 in <a href="https://www.kamailio.org/w/info/"

<font color="#6aa84f">"Kamailio is released under GNU Public
License v2 (GPLv2). Beginning with 3.0.0, the application
includes parts of code under BSD license that can be used
such as individual components."</font><br>

<font color="#575757">Which one is the correct description?</font><br>
</span></div>

<p><font color="#575757">actually it is GPLv2 or later, as the
header of main.c file lists:</font></p>
<p><font color="#575757"> *
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/src/main.c">https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/src/main.c</a></font></p>
<p><font color="#575757">All (almost) source code files have the
header with their license, several files/modules have also BSD
license, if you want to use (extract) them individually. But
over all, it is GPLv2+. Somehow GPL as a term got associated
mainly with GPLv2 over the time.</font></p>
<p><font color="#575757">I updated the the web pages.</font></p>
