[Asterisk-Dev] G.729 licensing, again..

[Race Vanderdecken]

Oops let me see how this works.
I buy a license from company B so that gives me the right to use a
different license and product from company A.

Because Company B already compensated company A I can bypass the
derivative work and use the original?

So by proxy I can use the DVD DSS code I got off the web to crack DVDs
so long as I paid company C for the license for some sort of code that
does something similar or of the same value but is less restricted.

Since I paid someone I therefore have a license to do that action by any
means. So if I buy one Ford truck that gives me permission to use
anyone's Ford truck because I already paid Ford for a truck.

If you want to use the Intel code license it from Intel. Why is stealing
software okay, but if I took a laptop with software, a laptop is useless
without the software, but whatever. It is still stealing.

Ooh.  We can get into this whole thread again.  Yay!.   (next week: 
let's have replay the whole discussion about politeness and such).

But I'm a sucker, so I'll bite.

I contend that it is possible that, if you have paid the appropriate 
royalties by buying the License rights via Digium, you might be able to 
run the actual code from Intel instead, assuming you don't exceed the 
number of licenses you have.  But I haven't seen their license 
agreement, so I really don't know.
