Is it me or does FreePBX now seem considerably less "Free"

It all started with sysadmin and module signatures

C’mon, we’ve beaten that horse to death. Module INTEGRITY VALIDATION was 100% open and 100% free, with full documentation on how anyone could do it.

Here - let me help you: Sangoma Documentation

Sysadmin was always a bit of an oddfellow. People wanted a GUI to manage their network interfaces, and other system specific stuff, and were willing to pay a small amount of money to have it built into FreePBX. That’s it - and was many MANY years before Module Integrity Validation.

But c’mon. Give up on beating on module integrity validation - I REALLY went into battle to get that approved, and I went out ot my way to NOT limit it and to make sure all of the tools and documentation were right there in front of everyone who could possibly want it.

I even agreed (admittedly, later) that people wanted a way to do it without needing to get Sangoma installed, so Sangoma Documentation emerged.

And how did that work out for you?

Advanced notice to the community regarding Clearly IP modules

Here’s the a gdoc as authoritative source, just in case something is edited here.: Sangoma Libel - Google Docs OK, so here I am responding as me - xrobau, Rob, the guy who CREATED FreePBX, and also the guy that created all of the GPG stuff, not as a representative of Clearly IP. Here’s the quick summary - I’m totally blindsided by this post, and it seems that there’s a lot of wild accusations being thrown around, lawyers are getting involved, and a bunch of crap is happening, all because Sangom…

Btw, since you guys apparently don’t have a forum over there for me to post this, the workaround you guys came up with for this has a problem. By switching to clearlyip mirrors, it fails the signature checks in /usr/bin/sysadmin_manager when doing Admin > Module Admin > System Updates, so congratulations…you played yourself.
