This even goes for recording to native format, as FS must decode the G729 audio in each direction, mix them together into a single stream and then encode them back to G729. 2 decoders, 1 encoder = 2 licences.

Recording to native format only doesn't require a license if it's a single stream so that mixing isn't required.

FS will be playing piggy in the middle, monitoring 2 audio streams per
call. If you want to decode both, that is 2 licences. This may seem
unfair, as you are using 2 decoders and no encoders - the same amount of
licenced resources as one normal call. Why can't that be arranged to be
a single licence? The answer lies in the terms of the patent licencing
conditions.
