fun: NOTICE: your repository arkadi / asterisk-g72x has been taken down from bitbucket.org in compliance with the DMCA
Arkadi Shishlov
Poor product manager cannot afford an IP lawyer to write a proper DMCA
letter and seems to confuse fridge and sunset on his/her way.
What troubles the most is the blind compliance by Atlassian team that
took the repo down. Looks like any butthead can send rubbish to them
and they will comply. So, in case butthead's virginity is offended by
PyPy translation framework algorithms => no more PyPy for you. Time to
re-think the dependency on "cloud"-based services.
Send your hate or legally worded defense letters to Atlassian and/or
Digium on my behalf, but, sorry, I have better things to do currently.
In meantime the repo will be moved to GitHub (curious to see what
happens next) or, maybe, I'll try to organize my own publicly
accessible HG repo.
The promised fun part begins...

Hello Arkadi,
I am writing this to let you know that we have taken down your
repository arkadi/asterisk-g72x from bitbucket.org in response to the
DMCA takedown letter we received from malc...@digium.com.

Digium sells a similar module to this one legally (see: http://www.sipro.com/g729_licensees.php) and by allowing this module to exist it puts Digium in jeopardy. The code combines unauthorized G.729 code from Intel (see the ipp subdirectory of the repository) with the non-compliant code from Asterisk and it constitutes an illegal act.
