While it is currently the case that the patent holders on mp3 
encode/decode technology have declined to pursue licensing fees from free 
and open-source encode/decode software, this may not always be so.

It is a bit frightening to see someone base an activity around bits that 
might suddenly be subject to fees/IP claims.  Nervous, is me...

How, too, does this interact with the export capabilities of OLPC, as 
something hosted on redhat's servers?  Again - something to think about.
