[Freeswitch-users] open g729

Mon Jan 31 20:47:13 MSK 2011

Its too bad this type of thread is always the only one anyone carries
past like 4 exchanges.
I would love for the other aspects of the project to get this much attention.

I would like to say for the record.  I personally spent the last many
years working with others to sign up, pay a large sum of money, and go
on the hook to provide these licenses to people.  The only people who
truly need G729, need it for business reasons.  It's patented because
someone wants to make money when you do.  This is not something I can
do anything about.  I do my part by giving you the whole soft-switch
for free.  If you have to pay $10 for a channel, the bright side is
you do not have to pay 100k for a commercial soft-switch and if you
have to actually buy a lot of G729 licenses you must be doing
something right and making a lot of money.

I'd prefer if we not waste our time bickering about moot political
issues and move on.  There is a new codec being developed that is open
and free and may some day eliminate G729.  Until then let's focus on
something we can actually do something about.

Carry on if you wish, I just think we have better things to do.
