Help make speex widely supported. Or continue to suffer with g729 and
g723.
|
The problem with speex though is that for the same bit rate, the quality
isn't as good as G.729, The transcode takes twice as much runtime
(according to show translation recalc 10). |

Ok, let's just agree to disagree and say that using patented software
without a patent license is "wrong"
What I am saying is you can be sued to the poorhouse but you won't be
arrested and put in jail.

Illegal means that something violates a criminal law. You linked to a

registration of said patents. I'm not saying we should infringe on the
patentholder's right I am simply saying it is not a criminal act, at
least in the US.

Totally agree.

Did you even bother to read the definition of "against the law" that I
posted? In that definition, "against law: contravening a specific law,",
that being violating patent law. Then it goes on to say "especially a
criminal law"
Sorry Andrew, but I take Encarta's definition over yours.
Thanks,
