I am also not at all an expert in GPL licencing or IP, but would like to 
add that any customisation you make specifically for the purpose of 
interacting with a billing server or other external application is 
likely to take the form of a Kamailio module, rather than modifications 
to the existing Kamailio modules, the Kamailio core, or any other part 
of the stock code tree.

As far as I know, under the GPL--broadly speaking, for I certainly don't 
know or remember the specifics--modules get different treatment than 
modifications per se.

As far sa I know, if you can stick your code into [a] completely 
self-contained module(s) (and given what you've said about what 
specifically you want to accomplish, it seems to me that you absolutely 
can) that interact(s) with Kamailio using its module APIs and requires 
no modifications to Kamailio itself, it's not subject to the same 
licence constraints as modifications per se.

Please do not take my advice as stated, and consult a competent 
software/IP attorney.
