<DIV><BR></DIV>Funny you mention it, but MP3 does have several patents
covering aspects of it that expire between 2007 (fine) and 2017 (not so fine).
There have been various companies at various times that have claimed licenses
are required to encode/decode it. Fraunhofer Institute being a good example -
they earned 100million euros in 2005 from mp3 licenses. In1998 they sent a lot
of letters out to developers of software using mp3 stating that they needed a
licence.<BR><BR>I guess the difference from G729 is that a) enough people in
the general public use it and want to continue using it and b) the patent
holders have declined to enforce license fees on free/foss software, only
focussing on commerical software, so there's plenty of stuff around that can
use it without worrying too much about the patents.<BR><BR><A
