According to what I've read, MPEG LA would also charge the some fees for "free software". It makes me wonder if e.g. ffmpeg would adopt VVC would they have to pay for it? https://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?Art...

I see what you mean. It probably wouldn't matter if a user is compiling from source and not downloading the binaries. It is also unfortunate the terms couldn't be simpler.
It seems most internet companies in the west ( dominated by US ) are not going to use VVC, while India, China and Japan are all ready to jump on the VVC tech. Broadcasting has shown interest in VVC as well.
