Obviously IAX/IAX2 does not and should not require licensing fees.

I once suggested to Mark that he copyright and trademark the terms IAX 
and IAX2 and provide a no-cost license for use of the term "IAX" or 
"IAX2" to any implimentation that correctly follows the (at some point) 
documented IAX2 protocol.

He seemed to like the idea, but I don't know if anything was actually done.
