Voxilla has an interview with Steven Sokol about the program Digium put in place to offer paid support of Open Source versions of Asterisk.

Excerpt from the article:

It's been almost a month since Digium changed a long-standing policy and began offering commercial support for open source Asterisk installations.

After years of providing support only for Asterisk Business Edition, Digium looked at the growing acceptance of open source voice solutions, at the shift away from vendor-locked proprietary systems, and decided the time was right to "do whatever needs to be done to make Asterisk work for our customers," according to Steven Sokol, Digium's Product Manager for Asterisk.
