Hi all,

The vorbis codec is patent and royalty-free, but for mp3
one should in principle pay royalties to Fraunhofer
institute ($0.05 or so ?) for each song recorded.

But what about .ogg files that are made out of .mp3 files?
Does the royalty then somehow inherit to the .ogg file?

Just a thought...

Roland
