It is in addons for licensing reasons; the underlying H.323 stack from 
Objective Systems is dual-licensed like Asterisk is; users who want to 
use chan_ooh323 in a commercial environment (like Asterisk Business 
Edition) must obtain a commercial license for the H.323 stack as well. 
This is a similar situation to the MySQL connector modules, which is the 
same reason they are in asterisk-addons.

With our move to Subversion it might be possible to merge these back 
together and when we make commercial versions of Asterisk available we 
would just exclude them; I'll have to talk to Mark and the others about 
that.
