is so widespread in VoIP devices.

Obviously I cannot disclose any numbers, but I can say with all
certainty that Digium does not lose money selling G.729 codec patent
indemnification licenses.

It's not quite as low as Trixter says, at least not for us. First of
all, we are selling licenses for G.729AB, even though Asterisk does not
yet fully support, because it makes sense to do so when that day comes
 G.729AB is slightly more expensive than G.729A.
Then, as you already surmised, there is the cost of actually providing
the licenses, including support when people can't figure out how to use
them, etc.
As I said, Digium does not lose money selling G.729 licenses.
