Nice open source VoIP overview
I spotted a nice post about open source over on VoIP News. Nice job of pointing out Freeswitch, Sphere and some other open source options besides Asterisk, which seems to get the lion's share of attention.
Open Source and VoIP
Is Asterisk the only reason why developers are finding the two a good match?
The Open Source Software (OSS) movement started in the old days of the Internet. The philosophy of OSS is that the source code for any given program should be made freely available to the public for alteration and improvement. The idea behind this type of freedom is that anyone should be able to alter the source code, but it does not necessarily mean that no one can charge money for programs. In contrast to traditional software development, which is carried out by teams of highly paid developers privately at a company, OSS is developed by anyone who has the desire to contribute.
