After delivering a wonderful framework like GStreamer they did it again - their offering an mp3 plugin free of charge to anyone who wishes to use it, they paid the license fees to the Fraunhoffer Institute. If you're a distribution maker you can get a redistribution contract from Fluendo free of charge also. The only drawback is that the plugin is incompatible with the GPL license, but there are many players which aren't bound by this, so most of the users can just listen hapily to their music.
