What do you want to license with the GPL? There are decoders under the GPL yet. The main thing, i.e. How mp3 is 'constructed' is owned by Fraunhofer and I don't think you could put that just so under any license when you're not Fraunhofer. BTW I wouldn't lean to much on the Fact that a patent that's haven't been notified in the US the will simply not accept. Think about it, why hasn't anyone inside America just claimed the Patent is his as long America is concerned?
