I was quite sure that MLP is patented, but I couldn't find the patent.
Meridian Audio at least filed a patent application and it's licensed by
Dolby world wide.
I'm not sure if MLP could be patented in Europe for the use in software.
I wouldn't care to much about patents. AFAIK there are no legal
problems, if you distributing the sources. But I'm not lawyer. Maybe
they define MLP as copy-protection and threat you with the DMCA.
I guess the Lame guys should know. They are dealing with the same
problem, aren't they?
