Its still not the same situation as G729 tho

G729 is patented and without proper licensing for the patents nothing you do is correct...

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)

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

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?

Jan,
            You apparently don't understand the GPL from that statement. 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.

hi,
 
 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.
