All: Because G.729 is so important to my world, I've contacted each of Intel and Sipro. For the benefit of others that may need licensing here are the costs and contacts:
Intel: http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/download/locations/index.htm#perflib $199 one time and $80 a year. Sipro: http://sipro.com Sipro is handling the G.729/G.723 patents for all those that claim have claimed ownership: France Telecom, Mitsubishi, Electric Corporation, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Corporation,Universite de Sherbrooke (The G.729 Consortium), NEC and Nokia. Typically Sipro charges an annual fee per port of use. The killer here is the minimum - 1000 ports. Your entry fee is: US $9,884. I'm pretty certain that I'm going to have to step up to these costs. To that end, I am thinking of building a library of the Intel/Sipro work for use with OpenPBX and distributing the libraries for commercial use, as permitted by the Intel/Sipro licensing, at a fee similar to the structure defined by Digium. Is there any interest here or am I the only one with commercial use plans? _______________________________________________ Openpbx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openpbx.org/mailman/listinfo/openpbx-dev
