If you use Cisco's binary, you don't have to count. Cisco takes care if that for you. As far as I understand, they are paying the cap, but that fact doesn't make any difference to you one way or another. The important thing is that Cisco is distributing the codec, and Cisco is bearing the costs for making sure that anything it distributes is properly licensed.
