sequels...

Could you explain the problem that you have with the MP3 licensing
scheme. It is well
documented to the world under     http://mp3licensing.com.

There you find some 65 companies that have acquired licenses already. Is
your point
that some companies should get preferred treatment, like e.g. the Open
Source
community?
