I can't find James' original post, so this may be a new subject line - I 
just want to note that the recent WebRTC code release from Google 
contains implementations of both iLBC and iSAC codecs; we believe that 
makes them open-source, unencumbered and implemented (with all the usual 
disclaimers).

Others will have to discuss the properties that make one or the other 
best for a particular application; part of that discussion will happen 
on the public-webrtc at w3.org list and the rtcweb at ietf.org list.
