Gah! All that description was gibberish'ed thanks to my copy/pasting. 
The text again -

Asterisk is a free software / open-source software implementation of a 
telephone private branch exchange (PBX). Like any PBX, it allows a 
number of attached telephones to make calls to one another, and to 
connect to other telephone services including the PSTN. "Its name comes 
from the asterisk symbol, *, which in Unix (including Linux) and DOS 
environments represents a wildcard, matching any filename."

Asterisk is released under a free software license: the GNU General 
Public License (GPL). Mark Spencer of Digium originally created Asterisk 
and remains its primary maintainer; dozens of other programmers have 
contributed features and functionality and have reported bugs. 
Originally designed for the Linux operating system, Asterisk now also 
runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Sun Solaris, and Microsoft Windows, 
although as the "native" platform, Linux is the best-supported of these.
