[Kamailio-Devel] Kamailio for commerical use

[Kavita Rai]

Hi,
We also want to use SEMS in our product. The SEMS home page does not provide any information on the license of SEMS.
Any idea on the license under which SEMS would be available. Is it under GNU GPL/ other open source license/ commercial license.

If SEMS is available under the GPL license, then would Kamailio be compatible with SEMS to provide announcement services.

Any information on SEMS would help a lot.

Regards,
Kavita

Nevertheless you can sell Kamailio based solutions to your customers. 
(Actually you will charge them for service, setup, configuration ...). 
This is what many people do.
