I guess the legal problem(s) may come from the fact that

via dlopen if available. And the user, not the distributor adds
the decoding facility...
This is not the legal issue at issue here. As you've noted, dlopening
libraries is not a problem for Fedora (including those troublesome
libraries is the problem).

P.S. Please don't ask me what the legal issue is.
