IC-Talk VOIP PBX possible violation

[Jon Williams]

Hi All,
I came across a software IP PBX from a British company called IC-talk
(www.ic-talk.co.uk) whilst researching available products for a
customer.

I contacted the sales department enquiring about the product and
explained my observations that it appears to be Asterisk based, they
replied saying:
"The system is based on Asterisk but to be honest it has virtually
been re-written"
The above statement alone dissuaded me from purchasing the product as
I found it very, hard to believe.

I did further investigation, and especially from screen shots here:

I came to the conclusion that the product appears to be derived
directly from Asterisk at Home, a popular Asterisk distribution for Linux
now called Trixbox, with the branding changed and any information
pertaining to it's source (Asterisk, AMP/Freepbx) removed.

I have emailed the company explaining my conclusions, and explaining
they may be in GPL violation of several products, notably Asterisk and
AMP/FreePBX) but without reply.

Regards

Jon
