I think that the implementors guide should also outline the licensing
contitions currently imposed by the ASN.1 compilor vendors.  At this time,
some of the vendors sell the ASN.1 code like a virtual machine, and impose
very restrictive licensing conditions, i.e. the source code of the
encoder/decoder engine is never licensed unless an astronomical amount of
money is paid.

It would also be worthwhile to note that the OpenH323 project includes free
"ASN.1 PER for H.323" C++ source code that is made available in the public
domain.
