I'd like to reopen discussion about the validity of 3rd party claims about
patent ownership covering some VoIP codec algorithms related to this codec.

Upstream of this library believes that any patents covering most widely used
A/B annexes of the codec have just expired (nov 2016).

Tom, could you please ask Fedora Legal to add this on their radar?

Actually all G.72x codecs have a very lengthy history dating back to late 80ies
- early 90ies, so chances are high that some of them are no longer covered by
unexpired patents.
