In addition, Asterisk implements several management/control protocols.
This includes the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI), the Asterisk
Gateway Interface (AGI), and the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI).
It is our belief that applications using these protocols to manage
or control an Asterisk instance do not have to be licensed under
the GPL or a compatible license, as we believe these protocols
do not create a 'derivative work' as referred to in the GPL.
However, should any court or other judiciary body find that these
protocols do fall under the terms of the GPL, then we hereby grant
you a license to use these protocols in combination with Asterisk
in external applications licensed under any license you wish.
