I'm not sure if this means that it is GPL compatible, the no royalty part was only an example, it seems to me that for this to be GPL compatible you have to have the right to sell a decoder at any price not just zero or some price + the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.75$ or whatever, so if I don't have the freedom to sell an mp3 decoder for<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.50$ does this work with the GPL??

BSD and LGPL has nothing to do with the issue at hand, which is mainly royalties.

anyway we have ogg so there is no need to panic
