[Freeswitch-users] G.729 patent expired. How to do now?

[Mitch Capper]

Yes except now the official G729 license body is saying the remaining
patents can be used royalty free.  Granted how legally enforceable items
are may be different but this does not seem to leave any obvious loop
holes.  I have no problem (and own several) G729 licenses for FS.  In
addition if FS wants to continue collecting money for the work on this
module.  There was also the setup and upfront commit by the FS team to make
proper licensing happen worth recouping.  However, hopefully there isn't
more money going to a body saying they no longer want money for licensing.
  It is good news (per the other thread) that there is a work around for
the license server and hardware binding issues of the past, as it caused a
big problem with docker previously trying to make that work.
