Exactly. Cisco is paying for the binary provided. Not the source code. There are plenty of patented and open source. Every H.264, H.265, H.266 Encoder and Decoder in existence and used. There are also plenty of open source 4G and 5G software implementation. I sometimes wonder if I should just give up the fight for patent misinformation. On HN it is very binary, either good or bad. And all patents and Ads are evil.
