I can't get logged into reviewboard, so I'll just reply to the list.

Regardless of what license the iLBC sources are available under, I
would *strongly* prefer that another external library *not* get
dragged into the Asterisk source.  It just adds problems because
inevitably the code that has been imported into Asterisk is going to
diverge from the upstream sources and keeping up to date will become
difficult, and less and less likely to happen.
