The problem is a lot deeper than just kiax ;-)

iaxclient, asterisk, kphone and others all have the iLBC code included.

In fact kiax doesn't have the iLBC code included, but does include the 
iaxclient code.  So if we were to use iaxclient as a library for kiax then 
the problem moves to iaxclient and kiax can be uploaded.

It is all pretty well documented at 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319201

That said it appears that both asterisk and kphone upstream appear to just be 
ignoring http://ilbcfreeware.org/documentation/gips_iLBClicense.pdf
