[Freeswitch-users] g729 patent expiration

[François]

Indeed, just pay those $10 even tho you technically don't have to for 
some reason (expiration date) or another (doesn't apply in your region).

Remember it was a big effort in time and money from FS devs to support 
this in the first place and we should be glad to have it available 
whatever the cost.

We should also probably avoid mentioning patent validity/expiration or 
existing alternatives, otherwise it could cause a breach of contract and 
we could lose G.729 support altogether!!

Happy Bday @Anthony!!

François.
