New MP3 License Terms Demand $0.75 Per Decoder
Posted by chrisd on Tuesday August 27, @03:27PM
from the good-thing-ogg-is-up-to-speed dept.
Götz writes "The licensing terms of Thomson and the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, who are the owners of the mp3 patents, have changed. Now not only mp3 encoders but also mp3 decoders require a license. This page lists the fees -- it's $0.75 per decoder. As a consequence, Red Hat has already removed all mp3 players from the Rawhide development version."
