If I remember correctly, only decoding for online video streaming doesn't require licensing fees. Cisco hits the fee cap with the products they sell already, so letting everyone use their binaries doesn't cost them anything.

Right the core problem is you have to use their binaries so Mozilla can't build it and ship their own.
