Cool. Thanks for letting us know. Is this already available in a
release? If so, I'd like to add llcon to our software list. Just as a
note, it's probably a good idea to include the bitstream version number
somewhere in the protocol to make sure you don't end up with problems
with the CELT bit-stream changes (CELT isn't frozen yet).

There are plans, but it's not that high on the todo list because it does
not have bit-stream implications (i.e. it could be done at any time).
However, if you (or someone else) would like to work on this, we can
guide you.

There is currently no logo for CELT, but assuming you use CELT
unmodified (i.e. with no extension or breakage), then you are allowed to
use the name or any logo.

All you need to do is create a config.h file that does
#define restrict
#define inline __inline

or whatever. You can have a look at the win32/config.h file in the Speex
package.
