What I was looking to do is use the easier to install one and the better 
one.

I was asked by a customer about using G729 and I told the customer that 
they would have to pay for the G729
licenses. The customer pointed out the open source G729 code and I was 
not sure if I could use that.

Then I was told by others that work on Asterisk that the open G729 was a 
cracked ver of Digum G729
and don't use it without buying the Digum licenses.

So that is what I am tring to found out. And Paul did point that out 
that the open G729 and Digums code is not the same.

I don't have Open G729 or Digum G729 installed in the Asterisk server.

Best regards,
