The Helix MP3 Encoder was open-sourced by RealNetworks ca. 2005 via the (long-defunct) Helix community project. It originated from the Xing MP3 encoder, which was purchased by RealNetworks.
A current version, with contributions from HydrogenAudio members, is available as source code over at https://github.com/maikmerten/hmp3. This Wiki page discusses that version.
