[SR-Users] SEMS license with kamailio and rtpengine

[Henning Westerholt]

Hello,

(just to add the obvious disclaimer that this is not legal advice, I am not a lawyer).

> [Would it be ok] if it were [using] a standalone service to which Kamailio interfaced using very narrowly confined and general-purpose communication channels?

I do not think there is a problem regarding to the GPL in this case. Interfacing over SIP/HTTP/RPC/XMLRPC or other standard mechanism to a dedicated process would not establish a close coupling between Kamailio and the other code.

Cheers,

Henning

I see. So, practically, the only way a custom module could be considered meaningfully separate according to these criteria is if it were a standalone service to which Kamailio interfaced using very narrowly confined and general-purpose communication channels?
