Using the code period in a country which recognizes software patents
is an infringement of the patentholder rights. It is not illegal
anywhere but it does open you up to a great deal of legal liability.
It does not matter if its in production use or not it is still
infringement on the patent. Of course unless you have a large
operation, say the size of Vonage, noone's really going to care.. but
why are you going to start small with that sort of thinking? You'll
never get anywhere.
I wonder how many Chinese VoIP phones with G729 & G723 codecs have
actually licensed the codec?
