H.264 Licensing has nothing to do with Adobe ?
MPEG-LA, LLC seems to hold the rights
and then, there is this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264
"Conversely, shipping a product in the U.S. which includes an LGPL H.
264 decoder/encoder would be in violation of the software license of
the codec implementation. In simple terms, the LGPL and GPL licenses
require that any rights held in conjunction with distributing and
using the code also apply to anyone receiving the code, and no
further restrictions are put on distribution or use. If there is a
requirement for a patent license to be sought, this is a clear
violation of both the GPL and LGPL terms. Thus, the right to
distribute patent-encumbered code under those licenses as part of the
product is revoked per the terms of the GPL and LGPL."
