If they purchase the damn stuff does this mean that you can't get opensource projects for MP3 players anymore.
I mean MPG123 is a Linux based mp3 player and pretty nifty too but what if Apple owns the mp3 codec? Is it then forbidden to use it in software that you have written.
It is a great thing for sound in games, it would be a bummer if only Apple could henceforth use it.
