What are the differences between the Afelio project and Asterisk/Callweaver?
The Afelio project is solely focused on BSD operating systems, incl. MacOS X, whilst all other telephony projects are Linux centric, even those which have a cross-platform charter. The Afelio project is managed by Sunrise Telephone Systems Ltd, providing leadership, direction and governance to the project. This is in stark contrast to the Callweaver project, the direction of which can be rather volatile as it has no leadership and no governance. Unlike Digium, the company which manages the Asterisk project, Sunrise does not require contributors to assign intellectual property rights. Unlike Asterisk, architecture decisions at the Afelio project are made on technical merit alone, 100% free from any notion to diminish the user experience for those who did not purchase the products of a project sponsor.
