Michael,

Royalty free does not mean free.  I believe there still is an upfront 
cost that Polycom is charging.  Perhaps Digium can work out some sort of 
a deal now that Polycom recognizes Asterisk as a valid platform.

I'd definitely love to see it supported.  It's a great way to actually 
show some improvement in voice quality compared to the 100 year old 
copper technology that's in use today.
