Cisco paid for the MPEG-LA licenses on that. Back in 2013, they probably had to, but more patents have expired since then, and it's probably out of patent now, unless they put in extra stuff like N-channel audio.

If/when patents are gone, you could legally use and distribute self-compiled binaries, since source is already under BSD license.
