Theora patent question
Does the reason Theora is relatively safe from patent infringement
lawsuit have more to do with it actually not being encumbered, or is
it because its use is decentralized?
For example, FreeType is not patent-free, nor is Linux, yet they
succeed because on the one hand, they are open source, and those who
maintain them do not guarantee anything regarding patents, it is up to
each individual user

Patent issues, what features we can't use?
Hi everybody,
As the Asterisk community is getting larger and larger, I was wondering that
the features which are provided in Asterisk and are programmed by the open
source community under GPL, or GUIs like FreePBX which also come loaded with
wonderful features and uses same Asterisk, are they anywhere violating any
patent laws? Most of the features work the same way as Nortel, Avaya and
other

patent issues with Vorbis
Hi,
We are in the business of developing/productizing Multimedia codecs for embedded systems. Recently, Vorbis has gained good popularity. We are also developing it.
But we face few problems related to patents. Vorbis claims to be patent free. Is there any particular search made for possible patent infringements and corresponding report published? We need to convince our customers sometime

G.729 pre-compiled binaries and Asterisk 1.2.x.
Asterisk 1.2.24 seems to crash repeatedly under any substantial call load
(and sometimes without a substantial call load - just one SIP leg is
enough to do it) when using the G.729 pre-compiled binaries from:
http://asterisk.hosting.lv/
As per:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+G.729+Licensing
Time to crash is variable, but seems to require at least an hour of

Sprint Nextel sueing over VoIP patents
Sprint Nextel is sueing vonage, voiceglo and theglobe.com for infringing
on VoIP patents. Sprint Nextel claims to have about 100 patents on VoIP
technologies. Does anyone know which ones this article is talking
about, and if so does asterisk have any of those features?
The reason I am asking is that the article is vague, Vonage uses a
fairly standard codec set, I dont know about the others.

Speex
Dear Speex developer(s),
We are currently in the process of evaluating speech codecs for the
transmission of wideband speech (fs=16kHz) at bitrates lower than 32
kb/s. Speex is a contender for this task.
Practically we would have to port Speex to a specific 16 bit DSP if we
would go for this. We should be able to handle this.
But we would like to ask for your opinion regarding patent

Fax-to-Email - Legal Issues
Hello everyone,
Some months ago there were news about J2 filing lawsuits against companies
using fax-to-email technology, as they claimed it was their patent. They had
also won some cases, until someone filed a counter lawsuit against them
based some other grounds but again related to fax-to-email.
Anybody knows what is latest in this regard? Can now fax-to-email be used

Free G.729 ready for download
DISCLAIMER: This code is free (I am not charging you to use it), but
you might have to pay royalty fees to the G.729 patent holders for using
their algorithm.
I finished this last Saturday and have had it on an Asterisk machine for
5 days without a crash, so I'm hoping that means it's safe to release
into the real world.
This code has also been released on the -dev list. As it is

Licensing Question
Hi there,
I am new to Ogg/Theora and am trying to compare several video codecs as part
of my master thesis at the University of Klagenfurt.
Therefore I have a question: will there be any patents problems using
Ogg/Theora in the future? Is/will Ogg/Theora stay free from patents rights?
This would be a great advantage in using Ogg/Theora instead of e.g. H.264
which is covered with numerous

patents and separate entropy coding
Hi everyone,
first of all, I searched through the archives for any posts resembling
this, I didn't read all posts about the patents so if this has been
suggested before I apologise.
I read in an article on C|Net (I think, it was linked from Slashdot
anyway) that Thompson are threatening to sue you if Ogg Vorbis becomes a
success. Which is evil, and I'm also mad at them because they never

Verizon Vonage 101
I've dug down as far as I could on www.uspto.gov for
anything remotely close to what is going on with
Verizon and all searches end with only two
possibilities in regards to what is going on.
So unless the patent was issued to someone else and
Verizon bought it, these are the only two possible
patents this case could be based on...

RFC: Improving license & patent issues in the LLVM community
Hi Everyone,
I’d like to start a discussion about how to improve some important issues we have in the LLVM community, regarding our license and patent policy. Before we get started, I’d like to emphasize that *this is an RFC*, intended for discussion. There is no time pressure to do something fast here -- we want to do the right long-term thing for the community (though we also don’t want

Some questions about Theora IP
Hello Theora developers,
I'm doing some cursory research into Theora's IP status in preparation
for asking Apple to reconsider the possibility of shipping an
implementation. I have a few questions and I'm hoping knowledgeable
people can help out.
1) What are the terms of any patent licenses or disclaimers, and do
they have field of use restrictions or limitations on code for

Sisvel's claim on MP3
Dear all,
I just know that Sisvel (http://www.sisvel.com) claims patent on MP3 and
starting charging fee on MP3 encoding/decoding (http://www.audiompeg.com). I
take a look on its patent claims and it seems that they are very board.
I wonder if vorbis would be affected by them.
Best regards,
JJ
