<div>Al, I don't know if you're stupid, or you just like stirring things up. Once again, READ! Read the entire article before posting it.</div>

<p>To use G.729 or G.723.1 you may need to pay a royalty fee. Please see <a href="http://www.sipro.com/">http://www.sipro.com</a> for details. Please note that this code is available for you to download for education purposes only and if a patent exists in your country for
G.729 or G.723.1 then you should contact the owner of that patent and request their permission before executing the code.</p>
<p>Now, Al, what does that say? I don't know what country you live in (and don't care), but if you live in a country (or possibly do business with a country) that honors patents, then you will have to pay to license this codec.
