Hi,

	I must confess ignorance about applicability of algirithmic
 patents in .nl; I assumed that Wichert would be better informed than
 I. Can someone confirm that the patents in question (mentioned at 
 http://www.mp3licensing.com/patents/index.html) are software patents,
 and not merely applicable to hardware decoders?

	manoj
