Encumbered should mean that details in licensing should not matter, as long

Hi.
No, it's wrong.
Licensing matters. What doesn't matter is patents on software codecs.
FFmpeg can use several libraries. But as libraries (which ffmpeg can
use) use different licensing, if you compile ffmpeg with all options
enabled, you get binary, which you can't redistribute according to GPLv2
license.
