Hi! That is only the patent license, right?

No, it uses the code from WebRTC which appears to be different from the code in the RFC. > The best solution (but I'm not speaking as a maintainer, since I haven't > been doing that for the VoIP team for quite some time) would be to > package one of these libraries and "port" all the software the uses it > to use that.
