No. RedHat publish the full sources (as easily-rebuildable source
packages) to all the packages in RHEL. This is why CentOS is possible.
Digium may just as well *bundle* code of that sort in Asterisk
(e.g: as
a separate AGI script, or whatever). The pproblem is that linking
such a
code into Asterisk makes it (for the common interpertation of the
copyrights laws) a part of Asterisk.
So Digium cannot use exactly the same strategy as RedHat if it
wants to
allow people to link propietary modules with Asterisk. And this is the
major difference.
An other difference is that the dual license gives Digium the
possibility to sell their code to other PBX vendors which might like
to delete the word "Asterisk" or "Digium" out of their end product.
MySQL does the same.
