Relevant: Have the patents for H.264 MPEG-4 AVC expired yet?

And this is High Profile, Only a dozen left. Most of them expire this year as well. With only 5 left in 2027 to 2030, 3 of that is SVC specific and country specific.

I hope Redhat do something similar work to AAC-LC and declares certain profile patent free.
