je me re-re-reponds quant au problème des possibles brevets violés par musepack :
The patent status is unclear:
1) there is only one patent that is reported to really apply
2) neither me nor Frank Klemm have been able to track down what exactly that patent would be
3) the original MPC developer was never able to track down someone he could license it from
4) the rights on MP2 patents seem to have been sold several times to increasingly obscure companies
5) the patents themselves are already expired or will expire very soon in several countries
