We're talking about codecs, essentially the decoders which are used to
read encoded files.
If the patent claims are valid/enforceable (and most aren't), it is up
to the patent holder to decide if it is in their interest to enforce the
patent claims.
Since they will

As far as I remember, the tainted policy is that codecs for formats that
are claimed to be covered by patents should be there.
Per that policy, at least the
