Many Asterisk users and developers have experienced the impact of Digium tightly exercising control over Asterisk for their own business interests,increasingly at odds with the common interest of the community of users,developers and other parties who have largely contributed to the project becoming popular in the first place.
许多Asterisk的用户和开发人员，经历了Digium公司越来越多地紧紧地行使与该用户，开发商和其他各方社会的共同利益谁在很大程度上促成项目成为流行的可能性超过其本身的商业利益Asterisk的控制，影响第一名。
As a result more and more users,developers and integrators agree that a strong alternative to the Asterisk project which takes its own direction is beneficial and desirable as long as such a project is not controlled by a single vendor and managed for the common interest of users,developers and vendors who drive it.
因此越来越多的用户，开发商和集成商一致认为，强有力的替代选择Asterisk的项目，以有利于自己的方向和理想像这样一个项目只要不是由单一供应商的控制和对用户的共同利益管理，开发商和供应商谁驾驶它。
