Description Slawomir Wojciech Wojtczak 2017-11-29 21:53:49 UTC 
The MP3 technology became patent-free on 16 April 2017, half a year ago.

OpenBSD provides package for lame since YEARS.

Can FreeBSD also start doing that?

Regards,

Crap.

Seems that both Linux and OpenBSD have bigger balls here, but we all remember what AT&T did to BSD ecosystem ...

Lets close this then.
