Cool, so you have satisfied yourself that you are licensed to use the G.729 codec and not get your ass sued by the IP holders. Now you can simply use the no-license-required codecs from here...

This has come up before. You are actually licenced to use only the particular implementation you were supplied with. The G.729 IP holders do actually object to your using another implementation. I guess they feel they will loose control. Whatever their reasons, they do actually object.

I'm probably massively over-simplifying the problem.. but I see this as the same problem as having installed the same MS Office 2000 CD + key on 50 PCs, but as long as you have 50 unique certificates of authenticity for Office 2000, it doesn't matter a crap (in the real world) what actual key got used on each PC.
If you get audited you will find it does. Dumb, but true. I guess the heavies they send around for these things need an ultra simplistic auditing practice to follow.
