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 :)
u could still use redhat 7.3 which has mp3 support by default since it
has decoder before the mp3 licensing changed.
if mp3 format is changed to adopt the new licencse, then u must use
the new players that accepts new license
