This is false.  mpg123 is not Free Software, at least according to
the Debian Free Software Guidelines.  The actual license contains
the following text:

   This software may be distributed freely, provided that it is
   distributed in its entirety, without modifications, and with
   the original copyright notice and license included.

The "without modifications" part is what makes it non-free.  This
is also incompatible with the GPL, of course.
