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

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 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

Patent troubles...
Hi everyone. Reading all this posts about patent issues, I thought of something: if, by some wild chance FhG (or some other audio company) manages to prove in court that vorbis is breaking their patent rights, you could do something like LAME developers did: release only source code and let people do the compiling so that only users that are living in countries where patents on algorithms are

G.729 patent in France
Hi all, I am building an Asterisk PBX with voicemail and music on hold functions. An ISDN BRI line will also be available and G.729 IP-phones will be used. Are there patents rights applicable to France? Which licence could I use and how many ones are required (only one per phone or also for voicemail and MOH)?

Is Speex realy patent free?
Well, apparently, no pure software solution can be patented (hardware can), least that's what I saw on the national news here in the UK 2 weeks ago.

YAPQ (Yet Another Patent Question)
Looks like the mpeg gestapo are frantically at work cracking down on mpeg projects. Several important projects (tsunami mpeg, gogo, faac, etc) were shut down by the jack booted patent nazis. Since FhG, mpegla, etc plan to start charging royalties on everything even remotely mpeg-related very soon, I expect a lot of interest is going to shift to Vorbis. And soon thereafter, I expect FhG to attack

Patent situation of Vorbis?
Just a question about the state of Vorbis, if I build an application using Ogg is there a chance anyone sue me to death due to some stupid patent violation. Is the method used in the Vorbis compression, decompression and streams free of any patent violations? *** Frank M.

Status of s3tc patent in respect to open-source drivers and workarounds
Hi radeonhd, nouveau, mesa3d developers, Firstly, thank you all very much for all the important work you do. I've been working as a part-time developer on the "Spring RTS" project (open-source game engine) which runs on linux (and other os). Some time ago I tried the engine on the open-source ATI radeonhd driver, which I understand to be partly based on mesa 3d, and all textures

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
