No. Its actually a product of the patent licencing scheme the G.729 patent pool holders have chosen. They tie a patent licence to a specific target product, and not to a component of it. This changed a year or two ago. Before that preprogrammed G.729 chips were available prelicenced for G,729. Now you need to buy an unlicenced chip and maybe software, and separately arrange the patent licencing end equipment by end equipment.
GPL is the reason you can't run a G.729 codec in the same address space as CallWeaver. However, we will be addressing this limitation. Steve _______________________________________________ Callweaver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.callweaver.org/mailman/listinfo/callweaver-users
