Correct, Debian ignored many decoder patents, but they are also aware of
encoder patents. If the main part libva is patent free, I think it's not
dangerous for Fedora to include it, because one year ago FESCo permitted a
similar package - libvdpau[1] to go into fedora which is useless without Nvidia
binary driver.
