The Patents have expired... the Copyrights of the author have not... FreeSWITCH is for the most part OpenSource and Free... however, the developers still have to pay for housing, food, etc... The Core team still has expenses like hosting, dev hardware, power etc that need to be paid for... G729 is one of the small ways to support the project.... -----Original Message----- From: FreeSWITCH-users [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Ján Füri Sent: Monday, July 24, 2017 3:31 AM To: FreeSWITCH Users Help <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Subject: [Freeswitch-users] g729 licenses Hi guys, can somebody explain me how it is with g729 codecs now. As far as I know the patent terms of most Licensed Patents under the G.729 Consortium have expired on January 2017. Is that mean that I could use G729 for free on my freeswitches ? Currently we buy g729 licenses from https://freeswitch.com/cart.php?gid=2 but it would be really cool to use g729 for free :) Thx Jan _________________________________________________________________________ Professional FreeSWITCH Consulting Services: consulting@freeswitch.org http://www.freeswitchsolutions.com Official FreeSWITCH Sites http://www.freeswitch.org http://confluence.freeswitch.org http://www.cluecon.com FreeSWITCH-users mailing list FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
