corrct me if i am wrong ........... if i have a mp3 player (hardware
one) which used to decode mp3 ,manufactured before decoding of mp3
needed licensing then am i breaking license if i decode mp3 with this
old player ???? if no , then will i break license if i decode mp3 with a
software module written compiled and released even before mp3 decoding
needed licensing ??? if i dont ,,, then maybe we can bundle older
decoders that supported mp3 with our linux distro :)

No, that wouldnt work. Patents are not tied to the software copyright
licenses, authors or time of release. After a patent is filed and
approved any software that uses the process described in the patent
would be infringing it unless the implementation has a patent license or
someone manages to overthrows the patent or until the patent expires.
