Related: I haven't heard whether popular free software such as Audacity, Linux distros, etc. will begin including LAME binaries by default as a result of the patent expiry. Anyone know if such plans exist?

Linux distro's are starting doing it right now. Not sure about Audacity, but I guess that will be the same.

I recently installed Audacity on a new machine and was pleasantly surprised to not have to poke around and drop the LAME libs manually for it to work with MP3.
