Twinkle (software)

Twinkle is a free software for IP telephony ( Voice over IP) and is licensed with the GNU General Public License ( GPL). In addition to the Session Initiation Protocol (hence SIP phone ) Twinkle uses a number of other protocols, but they are documented consistently freely and publicly. The surface uses the Qt library (library ).
