I don't see it saying there it's free for everyone to use. It also says:

IETF standard should be free as far as I know. So the fact that it's not is already suspicious.

Knowing Apple, they probably patented it to the brink. So they released it royalty free? And when exactly?

Note the word 'and'. That link wasn't to explain that it's free.

Also "is not an IETF standard" is a pretty low bar for suspicion!

Well, exactly the point. So this link doesn't say anything about whether it's free.
