Since they want to do hardware x264, are there any patent issues they'll have to deal with, or will that be included in the cost? I didn't see anything listed on the Kickstarter page.

Looks like Bootlin is located in France. France doesn't recognize software patents (as I understand it), which is why VLC can exist.

(Though I noticed on VLC's website that the EC could try to change that: https://www.videolan.org/press/patents.html)
