Hi,
I am aware the Kamailio itself as well as the native C modules are licensed
under the GPL.
What is the licensing situation with the Kamailio routing scripts, both
native and via KEMI?
Regards,
Wei Li

Hello Wei,
I am not a lawyer, and for a definite answer to your particular case I'd
suggest you consult one.
You are correct, Kamailio is licensed mainly under GPL2 or later. The core is
licensed under the BSD license.
About your question:
Kamailio interprets the routing script during run-time. This does not enforce
a certain license on this particular Kamailio configuration script. You as an
author can choose a license that you prefer.
You will find a more extensive explanation in the GPL FAQ, first paragraph:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfInterpreterIsGPL
If you e.g. sell a Kamailio script to a customer, the customer can of course
access the script and look to it. It is available on the server in the end.
But this does not alter your right to choose a license.
Best regards,
Henning

My interpretation is that while the core is
contributed and the core source files are licensed
under BSD; the Kamailio distribution overall, including the core, is licensed under GPL2
when we distribute tarballs and distribution packages.
This includes the sample configuration files and the documentation READMEs included
in the distribution.
Again, I’m no lawyer either :-)
