[OpenSIPS-Users] [OpenSIPS-Devel] [HELP] Advising on GPL license issue

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Binan,

And this exception clause (btw, found something similar here 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/05/msg00595.html), needs to be 
stated by the copyright holders of this new opensips module (that will 
link to the lib) or by all copyright holders from core + module ? This 
is the tricky part :)

Thanks and regards,

Bogdan-Andrei Iancu
