The G729 codec is neither open source, nor is it free, and the license/patent does not make an exception for "educational use".
The Intel LIBRARIES are free for educational/personal use, but the license for that software says that you still need a license from the G729 patent holder before use. I don't understand why people won't pay $10/channel for a fully licensed, legal, and Asterisk supported G729 codec.
