I don't know that I'd say quickly.  I haven't checked the petition 
lately, but there was a reasonable response initially.  If you have 
future business planned around the g729 codec, you might want to contact 
Digium to see if they have plans to either release a version of their 
g729 codec linked against uclib.  My gut feel on this is you're going to 
be waiting for a fairly long time.
