Funambol's CEO sees AGPL as essential for FOSS in cloud computing's future

12-09-2008 12:00 PM
"The future of software is in cloud computing," says Fabrizio Capobianco, CEO of Funambol, a company that provides mobile services. And if free and open source software (FOSS) is going to survive in that emerging market, he says, then the community needs to adjust by promoting greater use of the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), a license specifically crafted for software as a service.

sipwitch-config

sipwitch-config(1)						   GNU Telephony						sipwitch-config(1)

NAME

       sipwitch-config - script to get information about sipwitch library

SYNOPSIS

       sipwitch-config [options]

DESCRIPTION

       sipwitch-config is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link pro-
       grams that use the sipwitch library.  Note: sipwitch-config is provided for compatibility with  legacy  software  only.	 Current  projects
       should use pkg-config instead!

OPTIONS

       --version
	      Print the currently installed version of sipwitch on the standard output.

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program with sipwitch.

       --cflags
	      Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program with sipwitch.

       --prefix=PREFIX
	      If  specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that sipwitch was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
	      and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must  be  specified
	      before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
	      If  specified,  use  PREFIX  instead  of the installation exec prefix that sipwitch was built with when computing the output for the
	      --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
