Open source only has legal implications on use of the source and its
resulting programs, not on use of the actual codecs and technologies.

If you have concerns about use of those codecs and technologies, you
need serious legal advice by a lawyer, as ruling differs between
various countries, and between various technologies.

(All of it.)
