[asterisk-users] is g729 codec free? or under license???

[s m]

thanks Asghar, but are you sure? my two endpoints -which are soft-phones-
have g729 codec but my asterisk on middle system has not any module for
g729 codec. i think i should get module g729 for my middle system in order
to pass calls with g729 codec. isn't it true?
