asterisk users - Feb 2017 - Using g729 now that patents have expired

Now that the g729 patents have expired, how do we use g729 in Asterisk?

Will Digium be releasing a g729 codec for 'free' use or do we download
the
'free' codec off the Internet now that we can use it without moral or 
legal restrictions?

Thanks in advance,

I'm hoping Digium will do something so we can have an 'out of the
box'
experience rather than downloading code from a lesser known web site.

For the record: the coded module from there can be built with the
library bcg729, and I believe it should be perfectly legal to use now
(Unlike the Intel IPP, that will require a specific license due to
copyright considerations).

However the author is not seem willing to submit that code for inclusion
into Asterisk. So if anybody wants to write a G.729 codec using that
library: feel free to do so.
