So according to https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/bcg729
the patents should have expired by now, quoting:

| ITU G729 Annex A/B were offically released October/November 1996
| (https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.729), hence all patents covering
| these specifications shall have expired in November 2016. Patent
| pool administrator confirmed most licensed patents under the G.729
| Consortium have expired (http://www.sipro.com/G729.html).

Version 1.1.0 of bcg729 was released just 3 days ago (2020-11-17),
and its license was changed to GPLv3, so this should be OK to upload
towards Debian, AFAICT.

Could someone of the pkg-voip team take care of this, so we might
see bcg729 in bullseye?
