Privacy Policy
PBX in a Flash Privacy Policy
The PBX in a Flash team recognizes that privacy is important. This document
outlines the types of personal information we receive and collect when you use

are intended to enhance your online experience. We do not surreptitiously
collect data using our software.
Our web servers and those of others providing download services for PBX in a
Flash automatically record information when you visit the websites. This data
includes the URL, IP address, browser type and language, and the date and time
of your web requests. You also have the option of providing some additional
personal information when you sign up to use the Nerd Vittles forum. Whether you
elect to provide it is entirely voluntary.

Licensing
In a word here is our positioning on
licensing and compliance. Please read it before asking any questions!
GPL2 Notice and Licensing
As the documentation on your install of PBX in a Flash makes clear, most of the
components included in the PBX in a Flash distribution are subject to the
GPL2 license. You can search for
the individual product licenses by issuing the command: find / -name COPYING.
Because PBX in a Flash is merely an aggregation of existing works covered by
GPL2 or other licenses, our production of PBX in a Flash is not itself subject
to additional GPL2 restrictions. Our contribution to the community is making all
of these "independent and separate works" function reliably together. No small
feat! For every product covered by a GPL2 license, you are entitled to obtain
the source code. With the exception of portions of CentOS 5/6, the remaining
source code for the aggregated components in PBX in a Flash is included in the
distribution.
CentOS 5/6 is an "independent and separate work" under the terms of GPL2. As
such, our obligation is to provide to you the same source code that the CentOS
development team makes available to us. You can download it
from the authors
or directly from us. If there is an
object module for which the source module is not included in the CentOS
repository, you can usually find it
here although we
have no independent obligation as an aggregator to provide it. Keep in mind that
some applications are released in object module format only pursuant to a
different type of license which may not include access to the source code
itself. Thus, there will be no source code available. You also can download
CentOS source in ISO image format from
here at no cost.
If you'd prefer a DVD with the source, you can purchase it directly from a CD
shop. If you specifically identify other missing source that is not otherwise
available in the locations and links provided, we will attempt to provide it
(subject to licensing restrictions) under the same terms and conditions outlined
for the CentOS 5 source.
The source code for our contributions in aggregating these collective works and
for certain GPL products such as Asterisk and FreePBX is contained in the
original ISO download or in the following tarball and script. Both of the
aggregation products below are licensed under GPL2 for your use and are freely
available for download should you so desire. Our objective is to provide
everyone that wants it the same source materials that we have used to create PBX
in a Flash. Your obligation is to do the same thing should you make changes or
improvements to this collective work. See the GPL2 license for further details.
Comments or questions about licensing should be sent to the development team
through this email
link. Do not post questions or requests pertaining to licensing on the
forums expecting a response from the PBX in a Flash development team. Our
apologies for the long-winded explanation.
That being said this licensing does not relate AT ALL to our documents. Nor does
it relate to some of our programs. Programs that are compiled are distributed
under the LGPL agreement as outlined below. I apologize to the software police
for not having this prominently displayed. Remember the software police motto
"Protecting users from themselves - at any cost!"
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Everyone is permitted to copy
and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and
conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented by the
additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.
As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU LesserGeneral
Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNUGeneral Public
License.
"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an
Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the
Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.Defining a subclass of
a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface provided
by the Library.
A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with
the Library. The particular version of the Library with which the Combined Work
was made is also called the "Linked Version".
The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the Corresponding
Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code for portions of the
Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the Application, and
not on the Linked Version.
The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the object code
and/or source code for the Application, including any data and utility programs
needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the Application, but excluding the
System Libraries of the Combined Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU
GPL.
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without
being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility
refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application that uses the
facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked), then
you may convey a copy of the modified version:
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure
that, in the event an Application does not supply the function or data, the
facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains
meaningful, or
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License
applicable to that copy.
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header
file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object code under terms of
your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited to
numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros,
inline functions and templates(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the
following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is
used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
document.
4. Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together,
effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library
contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging such
modifications, if you also do each of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is
used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
document.
c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include
the copyright notice for the Library among these notices, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
d) Do one of the following:
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and
the Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that
permit, the user to recombine or relink the Application with a modified version
of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the manner
specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A
suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library
already present on the user's computer system, and (b) will operate properly
with a modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the
Linked Version.
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required
to provide such information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the
extent that such information is necessary to install and execute a modified
version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If you use option
4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding
Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must
provide the Installation Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the
GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.)
5. Combined Libraries.
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side by
side in a single library together with other library facilities that are not
Applications and are not covered by this License, and convey such a combined
library under terms of your choice, if you do both of the following:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the
Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, conveyed under the terms
of this License.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work
based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined
form of the same work.
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU
Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but maydiffer in detail to address new
problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If theLibrary as you
received it specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Lesser General
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that published version or of any
later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public
License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether
future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall apply, that
proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is permanent authorization
for you to choose that version for the Library.
