I have to agree with David here. A G729 codec benefits the project immensely as it allows Freeswitch users to use the most widespread commercial codec.

There doesn't seem to be any direct link between FreeSWITCH and Howler. How does this benefit the project? Can we assume that Howler is "giving something back"?
Well, they're providing additional functionality which a lot of folk want, which requires substantial investment in money (visit sipro.com and have a look at the up-front license fees if you wish) and time (to get the thing working across the various platforms with the required licensing) and they've presumably taken a commercial risk so to do.
Hats off to them: they've taken a risk, and the project benefits immensely from it. Expecting them to "give something back" in addition would be entirely unreasonable.
