It is worth noting something about the source code. Earlier versions of 
IPP came with G.729 code which was a modified version of the ITU 
reference code. It seems what is distributed with the current IPP 
library is a completely different implementation. Therefore, the 
copyright issue, which used to spread across many parties, now seems to 
be confined to Intel.

As you said, this doesn't affect the patent issue at all.
