Re: [asterisk-users] g729 freezes 1.8
Just in case it helps: It turned out that from asterisk version 1.8.4 on, the g729 binaries are different from the previous versions so it was a version mismatch between the g729 (1.8.0_3.1.5) and asterisk (1.8.8 and higher).

Source code availability is not the issue; the reference source code is easily obtained from the ITU-T. Many of the G.729 patent holders are companies based in Europe, so I suspect they would have a different opinion than you do about the legitimacy of their patent claims on G.729 :-) In any case (and of course IANAL), it is my understanding that the patents that cover the base G.729 recommendation, along with Appendices A and B, will all expire in the next year or so. We'll have to see what that means for the market, especially with new, more freely licensed, codecs coming out that provide substantially better performance. -- Kevin P.

IMO Transformations are patented, not mathematics. This is true in the US also, if you want to create solid patents. Algorithms are certainly patented in both US and Europe -- Fraunhofer and MP3 is a good example. Although many people disagree whether this should be allowed, there has yet to be high level court cases to decide the issue. As for G729 and other codecs, they can also be implemented in hardware, in which case there would be novel circuit apparatus that does the job. And if someone used software to get the same results -- violation. People too often think that just because something can conveniently be done in software, traditional patent law no longer matters... that doesn't mean hardware approaches somehow disappeared. People who write algorithm patents know this and make them more solid using hardware techniques as additional methods. You're dreaming if you think you can use G729 in ways other than what the patent holders grant. The only reason you don't get bothered (yet) is if you're not making money. /IMO -Jeff -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
