Sven Joerns commented on ASTERISK-28176:
----------------------------------------

Have I got that right now? My English is not the best and DeepL helps as good as it can. If there are any misunderstandings, I am sorry and apologize. 
I have now understood the following from your answer:
You are only allowed to use the codec in the USA if tracking is active?
But why not install a switch so that you can use the software safely in Europe? Or is it so that it is already forbidden in the USA to program a possibility that turns off tracking?
Is that why this ticket is stamped from the outset as unfeasible?

> I'm not quite sure if it's true, but in the README from Asterisk 
> (http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_opus/asterisk-13.0/x86-64/README) states that the Opus codec always sends anonymous usage data to an Asterisk community server.
> In the times of the European data protection regulation this is an avoidable problem.
> Therefore, the usage tracking should at least be switchable off.
