I am more worried about the guy implementing a WebRTC security camera that
uses an embedded Linux kernel and a software video encoder. Each unit might
"produce" video 24x7. But there is no MPEG-LA licensed browser or OS or
encoder chip to fall back on. The whole product might sell for less than it
might cost him to license the codec.
