So you think that France Telecom hasn't assigned SipPro to handle the
licencing for Europe?
What specifically are they gonna license? That specific code or the
g.729 codec itself? Were software patents in the EU recently voted to
be invalid? That means that they can license a specific bit of code but
not the method for that code, which means that a 3rd party can write
their own g.729 codec and release that without paying the per seat
patent fee.
Unless that was just a dream I had a few months ago, which is just as
likely.
It's not the code itself which is patented... It's the G.729 algorithms
so any implementation of them requires a license.
