Response for dotancohen with respect to the questionnaire:
From looking at the 3GPP questionnaire and their website, 3GPP does not have the rights to licensing the code itself, simply the rights to providing access and redistribution right for the specs:
"According to the Article 3.2.2 of the Third Generation Partnership
Project Agreement, the 3GPP Organizational Partners jointly own
copyright on the Technical Specifications and the Technical Reports
approved by 3GPP."
Voiceage apparently has the IP rights to the AMR codec (http://www.voiceage.com/amr_licterms.php) and requires payment on a per use basis, which is obviously not possible for us.
