These formats are allowed because they are either [[wikipedia:Open format|royalty-free and open]] or because their patent has expired (as is the case with MP3). Files uploaded with a ".ogg" extension should be moved to either ".oga" or ".ogv" (depending if it is an audio or video file, respectively).
These formats are allowed because they are either [[wikipedia:Open file format|royalty-free and open]] or because their patent has expired (as is the case with MP3).

Files uploaded with a ".ogg" extension should be moved to either ".oga" or ".ogv" (depending if it is an audio or video file, respectively).
