mp3 is a format for audio. The MPEG-LA group and Sisvel (Philips) block developers from adding mp3 to their software packages.

Software harmed

The Fedora GNU/Linux operating system excludes mp3 due to patents, saying:

Fedora is unable to include encoding and decoding support for the MP3 format because it requires patented technologies and the patent holder has not provided licenses that are compatible with Fedora's requirements.[1]

sipXecs Open Source IP PBX does not include support for MP3 voicemail files due to patents on MP3 encoding and decoding.[2]
