non-commercial is a misnomer, the patent may still apply for your usage, then again it may not. The libraries that are used are intels IPP which are free for non-commercial non-distribution purposes, if you want to distribute you have to pay intel money, but that gives you the core from which a patch file can be applied, that gives you an asterisk compatible module, which does the g729 and g723 codecs. In the US I can guarantee that the patent is valid, there are some countries where it may not be, and others still where even if its valid no one will enforce it. Use of the intel IPP codecs without a license can result in a lawsuit which can cost you more than buying the appropriate codecs in the first place. With that said modules compiled for 1.0.x however they have been reported to work on 1.2.x are available at: http://kvin.lv/pub/Linux/Asterisk -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
