Yeah, perhaps I didn't make it as clear in the notes (and probably
should have deleted it). we discussed the Asterisk agreement and the
uniqueness of it due to the dual-licensing model of Asterisk, and
Digium needs to have the rights to make a proprietary distribution of
your contributions. This is obviously the *exact opposite* of what
we're aiming for with the FPCA.

The Canonical agreement was also discussed, as an example of where we
don't want to go - that agreement provides *no* protection against
proprietary relicensing.
