Someone got in touch with us for http://linuxfr.org/ and this should be published tomorrow. ,---- | Statement from Thomson Multimedia, mp3 Licensing | | In a posting appearing Tuesday August 27, 2002 on the Web site | ?slashdot.org,? an individual cited a change in the mp3 license fee | structure of Thomson and Fraunhofer. The writer of the post apparently | misread the mp3 licensing conditions, as Thomson?s mp3 licensing policy has | not experienced any change. | | To clarify, since the beginning of our mp3 licensing program in 1995, | Thomson has never charged a per unit royalty for freely distributed software | decoders. For commercially sold decoders ? primarily hardware mp3 players ? | the per-unit royalty has always been in place since the beginning of the | program. | | Therefore, there is no change in our licensing policy and we continue to | believe that the royalty fees of .75 cents per mp3 player (on average | selling over $200 dollars) has no measurable impact on the consumer | experience. `---- -- Fabien Penso <penso@linuxfr.org> | LinuxFr a toujours besoin de : http://perso.LinuxFr.org/penso/ | http://linuxFr.org/dons/ A PHP Template Engine ?
