[asterisk-users] G729 Licensing Revisited - I'm Sorry!

[Jayson Devor]

Hello Everyone,

Thank your for your response. There are two critical questions I would
like clarified
kindly:

1) We do not perform any transcoding whatsoever. All recordings, and
voice mail are in G729,
and allow=g729 for all peers and in sip.conf. Is there anything else
we need to perform "g729 passthrough". More importantly are we still
liable? Given that most vendors support G729, why do some still
require the need to transcode?

2) If we decide that we require to purchase licenses, can we purchase
23 licenses and continue to use the open source version?

This only applies to the commercial versions of the codec right? We
are still ok in respect to Digium's OSS license with the open source
should we decide to continue using that version?

I really appreciate some light on this gentlemen.
