ok - my mistake: http://web.archive.org/web/20000818191854/www.mp3l icensing.com/royalty/swdec.html
it was free in past - regarding to this link above...
now not anymore... maybe they have forgotten to put it in again? lets find out;o)
There is not ONE mp3 patent, there are several patents covering different technologies used with mp3... there are also patents describing the streams generated... so if you can decode the stream you touch the patents... mainly... thats why they can get royalties for decoders...
anyway... decoders have never been free - offically... see my other posting...
why now this blabla - i don't understand it...
the old royalty has been 0,50 US$
so now switch on your brain and start thinking
what could this mean...
