For the record: the coded module from there can be built with the
library bcg729, and I believe it should be perfectly legal to use now
(Unlike the Intel IPP, that will require a specific license due to
copyright considerations).

However the author is not seem willing to submit that code for inclusion
into Asterisk. So if anybody wants to write a G.729 codec using that
library: feel free to do so.

A better source is from the consortium which has been upholding the patents:

Hello,

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.729

—8<—8<— 
G.729 includes patents from several companies and is licensed by Sipro Lab 
Telecom. Sipro Lab Telecom is the authorized Intellectual Property Licensing 
Administrator for G.729 technology and patent pool.[3][4][5][6]

As of January 1, 2017 the patent terms of most Licensed Patents under the G.729 
Consortium have expired, the remaining unexpired patents are usable on a 
royalty-free basis.[7] Thus, G.729 can be used free-of-charge.

Hi Steve,

I understand your question and your point, but I use the g729 codec from
the link that Carlos share, for almost 6 years from Asterisk 1.4 to v13
without a single problem.

So, sory but I don't share your phrase "from a lesser know web site".

About your question, I did not known that the patent has expired, so I
expect and answer just like you.

Cheers.

I'm hoping Digium will do something so we can have an 'out of the box'

[asterisk-users] Using g729 now that patents have expired

[Steve Edwards]

Now that the g729 patents have expired, how do we use g729 in Asterisk?

Will Digium be releasing a g729 codec for 'free' use or do we download the 
'free' codec off the Internet now that we can use it without moral or 
legal restrictions?
