[LINK] File formats and licencing

[Ivan Trundle]

Following on from the recent debate about iTunes and music file  
formats, John Gruber of Daring Fireball has an interesting analysis:

Until now, I didn't realise that the MP3 format has a licence fee.

Nonetheless, Gruber's assertions put an interesting spin on file  
formats and the licencing regime that end-users like us must endure  
and comply with.
