I totally agree with you. The codec is buggy and the license agreement from VoiceAge is - to put it in proper way- preposterous. However, I have to find a solution for customers with Cisco (79xx and budgetone) that don't want to use up all their network bandwidth. Until someone implements speex of iLBC on those phone, we're stuck with G.729

NuFone only had 3 G.729 licenses and when we went to add more it blew up 
our system and now we have none. Anyways, we are not very fond of the 
VoiceAge licensing terms. We prefer iLBC.
