<BR>
G729 is patented and without proper licensing for the patents nothing you do is correct...<BR>
<BR>
Not to mention that patent holders have some pretty strong restrictions on what you can do... Open Source code almost always ends up requiring a 10000 channel licenses per box its installed on (that’s about $50,000 USD in licensing per box)<BR>

You're correct the end user can combine things that are incompatible without any recourse.<BR>

Then don’t ship it with the binary (don’t put it in SVN)! Let the user download it. Isn’t it the same situation with G.729?<BR>

If we ship anything that is GPL in binary or source it will convert our ENTIRE project to GPL. That is the viral nature of the GPL which is the main issue.<BR>

hi,<BR>
<BR>
Steve do provide the stack as a library, so this is mostly a challenge for FreeSwitch to find a solution to use GPL code. It is fully possible for FreeSwitch to do so without violating any of the licenses. You simply use it as a binary module - various schemes are possible.<BR>
