The patent owners would view locally compiled GPL asterisk and a GPL fork of asterisk equally. If they permit me to buy codec licenses from digium and use them with an asterisk that I have modified there is no reason to prevent me from doing the same with a fork.
You do not understand. Only the copyright holder of the GPL software can allow non-gpl software to link with their GPL Licensed software.
Open H.323, Open SSL and G.729 are not GPL licensed, hence only Digium can wave the GPL rights for those features to exist in Asterisk - Any forked project does not have the right to grant such exceptions.
