Notes...

Qt Trolltech: Note that the Qt/Embedded Open Source Edition is not distributed under the QPL, but under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

For development non-free/proprietary software, the Qt Professional Edition is available. It has a normal commercial library license, with none of the special restrictions of the QPL or the GPL.

iaxclient library:

IAXClient is an Open Source library to implement the IAX protocol used by The Asterisk Software PBX

http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/

Although asterisk supports other IP protocols (including SIP, and with patches, H.323), IAX's simple, lightweight nature gives it several advantages, particularly in that it can operate easily through NAT and packet firewalls, and it is easily extensible and simple to understand.

MagicJack was too commercial
MagicJack seems too mercantile and not of an instructional nature, I must check it back in a few months. --Panic (talk) 20:05, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Issues seem to have been solved, the product is still a commercial venture but the project now has fixed the praises and criticism section.
