[Asterisk-Users] GSM to g729 Conversion

[Chad Scott]

Anything that can generate g729 encoded data requires a license.   
Period.

You may be able to find a utility to convert between GSM and g729, but  
it will have a license associated with it.

If you're trying to avoid the licensing costs, just use another CODEC.   
Your phone must support something else.
