Hello.
I found very interesting BPG image format - http://bellard.org/bpg/
Under licensing chapter on offsite stated:
- The BPG decoding library uses a modified version of FFmpeg
released under the LGPL version 2.1 as HEVC decoder. The BPG
decoding library excluding the FFmpeg code is released under the
BSD license.
- The BPG encoder as a whole is released under the GPL version 2
license. The BPG encoder sources excluding x265 are released
under the BSD license. The x265 library is released
under the GPL version 2 license. The optional JCTVC HEVC reference
encoder is
released under the BSD license.
- Some of the HEVC algorithms may be protected by patents in
some countries (read the FFmpeg Patent
Mini-FAQ for
more information). Most devices already include or will include
hardware HEVC support, so we suggest to use it if patents are an
issue.
Licenses free.
Licensecheck also show mix of BSD, MIT and LGPL code.
But what with codec patents? Is it acceptable in Fedora?

Yes, I'm a fool - I believe in people, honesty, goodness and
justice. And also in the fact that I can make this world just a
little better unless stop fighting.
