The package itself is DFSG-free (because it's GPL) so it's NOT for non-free
From your description above, it doesn't seem to contain cryptop code,
so it's NOT for non-US.
The remaining question, before it can go into main: any silly patents or
legal risks?
Currently, MP3 encoders can't be packaged for Debian. But this is a MP*2*
encoder. Are they patent-polluted ?
