Thanks for pointing that out - you might have just saved me a world of hurt.

However, there are many Open Source players - is there a license
exception for them, just for decoding?  Or can they only be
distributed from countries that don't recognize software patents?
That's the case with VLC, for example, it's from France.

Ogg Frog is GPL.
