On the contrary. I have the same feelings. I believe most of the web radio 
that are using shoutcast are run by people that cannot/do not want to pay for 
this licence.

Thus, I see two alternatives: either they promote a free codec, or those 
people will eventually move to icecast.

Any of these are good for free software at large so...
