I thought the decoder was made freely available.
There was a fee to license the ENCODER. Same model as PDF reader/writer.

I believe that was the case. Remember that "players" don't record. Many
"app level" recording programs that were free or dirt cheap (like the IK
Multimedia iRig Recorder or TapeMachine, the one I use on my phone) cost
extra for MP3 encoding. Audacity never included MP3 encoding, but always
made it easy to get the free LAME encoder.
