Sad! This discussion does NOT belong on proprietary social media!

In any case, the OpenMandriva patch that was linked to:
https://github.com/OpenMandrivaAssociation/ffmpeg/blob/master/ffmpeg-4.1-dlopen-faac-mp3lame-opencore-x264-x265-xvid.patch
does NOT solve the problem because it covers only third-party libraries and
not native FFmpeg codecs, some of which are also patent-encumbered, and
which cannot be dlopened that easily. Those would still only be addable by
recompiling FFmpeg. So the dlopening is entirely useless because RPM Fusion
would have to replace FFmpeg anyway. In addition, it also adds dlopening for
libraries that are no longer patent-encumbered, such as libmp3lame.
