What Kristian was asking is, what license does the software you have written
use? Is it GPL? Seeing that many of us only run open source software due to
being burned by proprietary software and systems, Cogoblue would be better
received if it were open source.

My comments were in no way an indictment of "free" software.
Yes,, we use Asterisk and it is fantastic.
Yes , we use Linux.and it is fantastic.
I pay to use UltraEdit as my text editor.
I like it better than the "free" ones that are out.
Does suggesting that some proprietary software has
features whose benefits outweigh some of the "free" ones
mean I an denigrating all "free" software??????
The answer is NO.
Do you load every distribution of Linux on your machine?
No, you use the distribution that has the features you like and need.
If you had to pay $10 for your favorite distro, would you stop using it?
Probably not.
If you had to pay $100 for your distro, would you stop using it?
Hard to say, you would probably weigh the relative benefits of the $100
distro versus
the free ones. If the $100 distro had features, whose benefits (to you)
exceeded those of the free ones,
you might buy it. Is that analysis an indictment of all "free" software?
Of course not.

CogoBlue is a proprietary software package written by ISPBX.
It is not open source. It is currently only available on ISPBX hardware.

ISPBX hardware uses Asterisk, probably Linux, and probably dozens (if
not more) FOSS applications, libraries, etc.

You're new here.
This is extremely offensive. "Free" software gave you and your
company a product (ISPBX) and a market (CogoBlue). Where would you be
without the "free" software projects (Asterisk, Linux, etc) ispbx
uses? Where would you be without the Asterisk community (hint - you
wouldn't have a market for CogoBlue). I'm usually not one to feed the
trolls but this comment is over the top.
