But if you start broadcasting/distributing hevc-encoded material for free without license contracts, some of the hevc patent holders might crawl up from under their carpet and say: "we have a patent here, and we're going to charge you for that now, or you're required to cease using our patented video format". As long as you don't distribute this commercially to end-users, nobody of the patent holders will give a damn. Just go ahead and use them.īut the license situation about distributing and broadcasting hevc-encoded material is unclear. The encoders and decoders are readily available (every Nvidia and AMD GPU comes with hevc hardware encoders and decoders). The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
