The rule I've been told is 20 years rather than 25 years, since the former is
the length of time of a patent.

That being said, the whitepaper published by MPEG about the new codec
explicitly notes this:

> The Baseline profile contains technologies assessed to be over 20 years to

From that perspective, it should fulfill the necessary requirements.
