I believe that's what Steven was saying. That if this code was to ever be included in the asterisk source then there would need to be a disclaimer from Derek Bruce, as well as the Freeradius dev team. He pointed out that this keeps there from being any need for a fork, and makes things much less complicated for Digium.
