Simple question...."so what?" It may be easier to setup "to you", but it is mind boggingly difficult for others. Extensions, Ring Groups, Trunks, Dial Plans, PSTN, POTS, PRI, etc can start to make many people's eyes gloss over. That is the beauty of this business. I am in independent consultant, do you feel it is wrog for me to sell an Asterisk system to a client to solve their business needs? Who knows, I might have started selling pre-configured boxes on eBay myself except looking through completed items shows that while he has been selling that box for sometime, he has never had a single bid on one. And its NOT because its based on open source, PBX's in general do not sell very well if at all on eBay as it is a function of "the phone guy" to recommend a system to his clients. With Asterisk, the "phone guy" can now be the "computer guy" and can handle both systems. But anyone that thinks it is immoral in some way for me to make a living off if it is crazy. How many Linux admins are employed out there? Shouldn't they give their time away because Linux is open source? What about Dell selling servers with Linux installed? Should they give away the servers? So why should a phone system be any different?
