Is only MPEG Layer III patent encumbered ? How about the other MPEG stuff ? I find it hard to believe that it is all patent-free.
It's all encumbered with patents. Encoders *and* decoders.
Yes, but how is then there a ton of MPEG code in debian (Sarge), but LAME is "banned" ?
What is the difference between LAME MPEG code and other MPEG code ?
