[Freeswitch-users] g729 patent expiration

[Anthony Minessale]

Some of the patents expire but nobody will know for a long time if there
are any extra ones lurking in the bushes.
As far as the FS implementation, there are no current plans to change
anything yet.

The good news is FreeSWITCH is a massive software project and its free, so
the $10 for g729 is nothing in comparison.
