Now for the ITUs site, I found the data set that has the '3 diskettes' (their words) in the zip file (pdf or word) however that is 82 swiss francs, does anyone have a copy that doesnt require such payment (legally of course)?
The license under which you obtain that code from the ITU does not allow redistribution in any form for any purpose.
I am thinking of making this a AUG project in the near future to come up with a cheaper alternative. From what I am reading on similar ITU codecs its under $1 per unit licensing to the ITU so it could be a lot cheaper and still provide some money for the Sac AUG to get supplies for its activities (Sac AUG is not for profit 100% volunteer so no individual would actually profit). The people saying that thought it was about $0.50 per seat royalty. Maybe when I have time I will contact the ITU to see what their fee is.
The ITU is not involved in licensing or patent indemnification; they are non-profit standards body. The G.729 patent holders have given Sipro the task of managing their patent portfolio licensing, so that is who you would need to contact. Sipro recently changed their licensing policies, and those changes made the barrier to entry substantially higher. You are welcome to talk to them, of course :-)
