I wish you had started the discussion the legal list yourself prior to the git commit.
A certain website that monitors this mailing list is probably already preparing to post how Fedora 37 is no longer going to work with popular video codecs. Once that post is made the Internet will take that story and bend it a few ways to make us look bad.
Phoronix already covered it being deactivated in Mesa upstream by default: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mesa-Optional-Video-Codecs
Unfortunately, we have to be very careful to not provide a complete codepath to these codecs to avoid legal risks.
