Think of it like a jigsaw puzzle, where the person who places the last piece in the puzzle pays the license. But then stop thinking of it like that and just assume it's a lot vaguer and way more legally involved than that.
So, for CPU's with iGPUs sold retail to people like me, does Intel (and now including AMD) include the IP license? If not, how can I get one from Intel (who sold me a CPU/iGPU that states it can decode the codecs in question)?
You will have to read the legal documentation for yours, but I'll say my i7-6700 didn't provide a statement of patent license that I could find.
