Comment (by jyavenard):

 Where have you found that those patents have expired? would like to see
 some proof of that

 Mozilla is even removing support for using an external, presently
 installed libavcodec/libavformat due to patent on h264 and AAC by various
 parties and instead moving to proprietary decoders from software companies
 with the appropriate license.

 Something to do with the "straight face" test of not knowingly getting
 around patent infringements.
