 {{{
 Q: If I use the source code in my product, and then distribute that
 product on my
 own, will Cisco cover the MPEG LA licensing fees which I'd otherwise have
 to pay?

 A: No. Cisco is only covering the licensing fees for its own binary
 module, and
 products or projects that utilize it must download it at the time the
 product or
 project is installed on the user's computer or device. Cisco will not be
 liable for
 any licensing fees incurred by other parties.
