It's going to get more complicated than this.
Don't have a source handy at the moment, but I think it's pretty much
certain that they'll be charging any video publisher over a certain
size--beyond the cost they pay for the encoder--for distributing
user-generated videos with advertising online using h.264.
And I think that for pay-per-download offers the rate is even higher.
Even free, over-the-air TV stations will have to pay a license fee based
on their audience reach (in addition to what they pay for their encoder).

That agrees with my understanding of licenses for codecs. No cost, in
regard to codec, for distrbuting multimedia. The cost is in licensing
software to encode and decode those media. So the producers pay to
encode, the audience software pays to decode. Often times the cost of
the license is passed in to the software user in either case.

We dont' have to pay any license fees but it's probably built into the
cost of our editing software.
