This is a lie.

1) Digium would never make a copy of the g729 code without licence (even
for themselves) as they could just issue themselves as many licences as
they needed.

2) The Digium G729 code does not do Annex B (as VAD is not supported in
Asterisk), which this does.

3) The G723 codec also does VAD (which Asterisk doesn't support).

I would not be surprised if these were exactly the same as the
ReadyTechnology files from the Intel demo.
