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. Thex265
<https://www.videolan.org/developers/x265.html>library is released
under the GPL version 2 license. The optionalJCTVC HEVC reference
encoder <https://hevc.hhi.fraunhofer.de/>is released under the BSD
license.
* Some of the HEVC algorithms may be protected by patents in some
countries (read theFFmpeg Patent Mini-FAQ
<https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html>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.
