H.264 Licensing has nothing to do with Adobe ?

MPEG-LA, LLC seems to hold the rights

and then, there is this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264
"Conversely, shipping a product in the U.S. which includes an LGPL H. 
264 decoder/encoder would be in violation of the software license of  
the codec implementation. In simple terms, the LGPL and GPL licenses  
require that any rights held in conjunction with distributing and  
using the code also apply to anyone receiving the code, and no  
further restrictions are put on distribution or use. If there is a  
requirement for a patent license to be sought, this is a clear  
violation of both the GPL and LGPL terms. Thus, the right to  
distribute patent-encumbered code under those licenses as part of the  
product is revoked per the terms of the GPL and LGPL."
