Note the two binaries are downloaded for two different reasons. OpenH264 is actually free and open source software in terms of copyright, the binary is simply downloaded from Cisco's servers rather than Mozilla's to comply with the H.264 patent license. It's worth noting that in general, Debian disregards patent licenses - they ship ffmpeg with many patent encumbered formats enabled, for example. On the other hand, Widevine is actually proprietary DRM.
