It's legal to write code for proprietary protocol, if you hasn't sign NDA
with Cisco.

Reverse engineered protocols used in many open source programs.

yes, but the concern here is that proprietary vendors usually like applying for (and getting) a software patent for thier protocols, and they can then use that to bar use of the protocol. in asterisk-speak, g.729 and the intel g.729 open sourced implementation is referenced.

however, i do think that it can be included and then when (and IF) a cease-and-desist letter comes, we can have it removed.
