1st. - I'm from Poland, we don't have (yet, and hopefully forever) software patents. Is there any free g.729.1 implementation for asterisk? I want to use it for my private use (dialing into inet->PSTN gateway), and I don't want (now) to buy codec, as I don't know if I will be using this service in future (now I just want to test it). Any solutions? Maybe even free-15day-trial of g.729.1 codec? -- Witold Kr?cicki (adasi) adasi [at] culm.net GPG key: 7AE20871 http://www.culm.net

A lot of people seem to have the strange idea that implementing a patented techique on a CPU, instead of some other hardware, suddenly makes it not a patent issue in many countries. WRONG! As long as the original patent was not so narrow that is was only claimed to apply to a very specific realisation of the technique, a software implementation is just as patent encumbered as any other.
