But it is an ISO standard just like any MPEG CODEC...
For instance MPEG 2 is used in DVD programs. A royalty is paid for this
too and is built into the cost of the DVD player. Any media
player...QuickTime, Windows Media Player all pay royalties to the patent
holders of the ISO standard their players support. A standard is not
necessarily free.
