Yes, the sounds provided by Digium do not have licenses associated with them, so we are unable to package them for Asterisk at this point. I've been after them for a long time to provide a license but for some reason that have not. It's easy enough to download the sounds from download.digium.com and untar them in /usr/share/asterisk/sounds though. Er, I meant "unable to package them for Fedora"... Would you mind leaving this bug open until we resolve this issue? The priority is set to low. Asterisk's asterisk-sounds-1.2.1.tar.gz was distributed with a file named README.txt that states, "...These sounds are BSD-licensed..." See http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/releases/. These sounds do not appear to be the same distributed with 1.6, but do seem to be recorded by the same woman. Does this help? What about this: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-voip-maintainers/2006- May/004710.html ? This is an email in which audio licensing is discussed with a Debian packager. Does the audio at http://www.voicevector.com/Downloads.php? PHPSESSID=001824a9b8a9a033cd47f95388c8825a have an acceptable license?

It's my understanding that the 1.4 versions of the sounds were entirely re-recorded. It is the same voice artist that recorded the sounds. It's also my understanding that the voice artists that recorded the prompts are unwilling to license the sounds under a license that allows commercial use. > What about this: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-voip-maintainers/2006- > May/004710.html ? This is an email in which audio licensing is discussed with a Debian packager. This discussion appears to refer to the older v1.2 sounds. > Does the audio at http://www.voicevector.com/Downloads.php? > PHPSESSID=001824a9b8a9a033cd47f95388c8825a have an acceptable license? You'd need to bounce that question off Tom Callaway, who has much more experience with licenses and has contacts that can help sort things out. How about this: http://devs.callweaver.org/sounds/ These are released under the Attribution-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported license. The license may be found in sounds/en_US/MelanieTaylor/README. According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing, this license is acceptable for content included in the Fedora project. From my testing, these audio files have coverage of the requirements of Asterisk 1.6. This is how I installed theses sounds on top of my Asterisk rpm. 1. Unpack the tarball 2. make 3. bash install --prefix=/usr/share/asterisk 4. mv /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/en_US/MelanieTaylor/* /usr/shared/asterisk/sounds 5. rm -rf usr/share/asterisk/sounds/en_US This may be a solution. I thought about just adding this to the Asterisk package, but it requires its own build process. Also, the package is called callweaver-sounds, not asterisk-sounds, but it does provide asterisk-sounds. All of this is up for discussion. If you like this solution, I'll post this to be added to Fedora (with any necessary changes). Spec URL: http://www.flyn.org/SRPMS/callweaver-sounds.spec SRPM URL: http://www.flyn.org/SRPMS/callweaver-sounds-20071202-1.fc9.src.rpm For reference, see also: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=12977 *** Bug 454881 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** While the sounds from CallWeaver are very similar, there are differences and they are likely to grow in the future. Packaging the CallWeaver sounds still makes sense for using them with CallWeaver though, but please don't place them under /usr/share/asterisk/sounds. Perhaps a callweaver-asterisk-sounds subpackage could be created that symlinks the callweaver sounds to the asterisk directory. Then once a real asterisk sounds package was available it could conflict/obsolete the callweaver-asterisk-sounds package. This is a mess! See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454949. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Moving version to rawhide. I've heard from a number of sources that the problems with licensing might be clearing up... Yes, if you view the Digium bug at http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=10144, you will see that there is discussion regarding this issue as recent as 03 NOV 08. Woo! Digium finally has release the sounds under a license acceptable to Fedora (CC-BY-SA).
