This sounds like an interesting and innovative new approach to codec licensing.
I have a few followup questions:

Do you have global relicensing rights for the Sipro-owned patents, or is this limited to USA?

Your interpretation of LGPL as being sufficient for channel modules is based on a US court judgement. Am I correct in assuming the GPL-only requirement for Asterisk modules still applies outside of USA?

Any chance you can publish a scan/copy of the FSF judgement on this matter?

thanks,

Iain
