As far as vivox, you might want to take a look at the open vivox initiative http://www.vivox.com/open/
(part of the open vivox faq) http://www.vivox.com/open/faq.php Can I distribute this to friends? No, currently Vivox software and service is offered for individual, non-commercial use only. Additionally, this seems more like a licensing debate then a technical one. We probably want to stay on the technical discussions.
