Hmmm I don't pretend to understand this stuff, but the GPL text
seems
pretty clear on this matter:
"For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and
this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the
Program."
So the only question is, is the gstreamer mp3 plugin patent free or not?
Doh, this doesn't really apply since nobody is trying to distribute this
code under the GPL... nevermind.. i'll leave this debate to brighter legal
minds than me..
