I saw those discussions as well. Apparently it is Mark Spencer's best interest to discourage people using it. I am not the right person to interpret the law, as well as Mark.
Just like Intel's solution is for educational purpose and not breaking any law, the adaptation of it to * or sems is no different, in my understanding. G729 is an international standard. I don't think that it is a problem for implementing it. It is end users' responsibility to pay the license fee for commercial use. If there is any doubt, Intel's lawyers should be able to understand the consequences of releasing the code.

Hi,
Intel has an open source code for g729. This sample supports the ITU-T
G.729
Recommendation and Annexes A, B, D and E.
Someone has adapted this with *. Is it possible to integrate this with
sems?
I have been following that thread on the * mailing list, i am not sure about the licencing issues, but this is what Mr. Mark Spencer, the creator of Asterisk has said about that:
