His argument is invalid in the first place. The h.323 interface will be done via Woomera as will the SS7 interface (www.ss7box.com/asterisk.html). As for OpenSSL it is said very clearly on the website its fine to use if your OS or Distribution includes the library in the base. Most Linux and BSD's these days do. I think their are very few exceptions to that rule. On to G.729, this can be done two ways. The first way is to use hardware with a socket interface (which is on its way already) or use a socket interface to a software process to perform the same thing. Both are perfectly valid and legal under the GPL. So we have thought about this. Anyone reading this now has the bottom line story on what is going on and our view of this matter.
