Description
Fedora 36 will include ffmpeg with patented stuff disabled. We should probably mirror their decisions here. I don't know if it's currently the same. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ffmpeg/blob/rawhide/f/ffmpeg.spec

Research direction
Start by comparing the repository's ffmpeg package configuration with Fedora's referenced ffmpeg.spec and identify which patented components are disabled there. Update the package decisions to match Fedora's stated configuration and verify that the package still builds with those components disabled.
