It also depends on where the patents are registered and whether or not they are valid in Spain, as Fluendo is not a US company and (AFAIK) has no US assets.

What you're missing is that Fluendo has a product specifically designed to be sold to people in the US, that claims to be a licensed MP3 codec. So they are affected.
