Yes. http://www.xiph.org is one of many.

Not in the reference encoder.

Depends on specific encoder settings. If you're using a managed-bitrate mode, 
about 2 seconds, I think, by default. If you're using VBR, significantly 
less.

Not many. Basically you just need to include the copyright notice somewhere in 
the software or accompanying documentation.
