If I'm interpreting this correctly, many MP4 patents are going to expire next year. ๐ŸŽ‰

Commercial use requires payment to patent holders, free use does not (whenever end user does not pay to watch). I dont know how ad supported streams are categorized, probably commercial. For personal use, I wouldnt worry about the license. Worry when you start a streaming server and start making revenue.
