Look you two, you are both very valuable members of this community.
Just quit this conversation. It is an infinite loop and has
absolutely nothing to do with Asterisk (Just licensing) and nothing to
do with biz except licensing.
Agree to disagree. Everyone has their own opinion has no obligation
to explain why if they don't care to.
Email is a tough way to communicate since over 75% of communication is
non-verbal.
Let it go.
