I'm not so sure about mp3. Certainly there are

is not usable legally, but the software is in fact generally available
for all operating systems, and to my knowledge there have been no
lawsuits attempting to put an end to its availability (and certainly no
successful ones). The decoder at the very least is almost certainly
legally okay, and widely available in players like winamp and xmms, and
even the encoders, like LAME, are rather common and have not received
legal threats.
BladeEnc has, as far as I can remember.
You’re most possibly right about the decoders.
