You're confusing user choice with accepting and confirming validity of corporate patent portofolios. We'd give users choice by adding a MP3 profile by default and showing it when lame is installed. We'd accept and confirm validity of corporate patent portfolios by buying an mp3 patent license and shipping a restricted binary as part of the GNOME desktop.
