I admit I have not checked, but does ffmpeg-free include

Hardware decoding in ffmpeg is nonfunctional with stripped build-in
codecs parts.
That's not exactly correct, for instance internal ffmpeg AV1 decoder is
VA-API only, i.e. accelerated and ffmpeg does not ship internal SW decoder.
OTOH I don't believe it's possible to use H.264 HW decoding without
patented parts as the decoding involves buffers ordering/stream
extraction and so on.
