Sorry, I have already replied to your questions
in -this- thread (to previous posts).
If you wish to rebut, I shall follow your lead to the new thread.
I do not understand the terms "straw man" or "tinfoils anonymous" :(

As I'm sure you are aware, our MP3 codec is
licensed under GPL which we respect fully. Hence, no unlicensed MP3 codec.
If you are referring to patents, we have
repeatedly acknowledged that this may become a
thorny (and, frankly, repulsive) issue. For the
present though, software patents are illegal in
Europe and thus for the time being we are in the
clear. [If you or anyone else wants to debate
software patents, please create a new thread.]

And as I have said, the real name policy is not
affected by opinions regarding its' legal
relevance. That's a straw man. I also do not
debate legal opinions on this list.
Finally: Can you *please* do like everyone else
and just tell us when you think you've found a
problem, without drenching it in melodrama and
innuendo? This is a developer list, not Tinfoils Anonymous.
