This whole argument is moot because there IS a free g.729
implementation.  Actually it is a zero cost license to the
source code.  Exactly what was asked for.
 

VoiceAge has a 1 port development use only windblows library out there, 
which is absolutely no good for Asterisk.

So, this argument is completely valid.

Is there any free g.729.1 implementation for asterisk? I want to use
     

it for my 
   

private use (dialing into inet->PSTN gateway), and I don't want
     

(now) to buy 
   

codec, as I don't know if I will be using this service in future
     

(now I just 
   

want to test it). Any solutions? Maybe even free-15day-trial of

codec?

     

There *are* no software patents on G.729. However, there are a lot of

signal processing patents, and they are applicable everywhere. A lot
of 
people seem to have the strange idea that implementing a patented 
techique on a CPU, instead of some other hardware, suddenly makes it
not 
a patent issue in many countries. WRONG! As long as the original
patent 
was not so narrow that is was only claimed to apply to a very
specific 
realisation of the technique, a software implementation is just as 
patent encumbered as any other.
