- gcp 10y agoNo, not at all. There's even restrictions on distributing H264/AVC video files themselves.
- Khoth 10y agoYou have to pay royalties to actually use it, but if you just want to read the thing, you can get it for free from the ITU. https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.264-201602-S/en https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.264-201602-S/en
- userbinator 10y agoAs the grandparent comment says, it is free for non-commercial use. Of course, this also only applies in countries which enforce software patents.
