[asterisk-biz] Re: G729 Replacement Codec - FREE or may ne cheaper than existing one.

Illegal or not, the license charge is so small it isn't worth the risk. 
Digium really did make an effort in this case and it's not worth 
reproducing. If you can, buy their licenses and spend your time contributing 
in another area instead. History suggests this will come back to you in some 
way.
