What is the status of the MP3 patents in 2015?

I read that Debian is including an MP3 decoder in their repos now? Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

Some research I did shows that there are patents that expire in 2016 and 2017, but they all appear to be encoding related. Is it possible to have a free-as-in-speech MP3 decoder now?

When can we expect to see OSS MP3 support in distros?
