Ever wonder why Microsoft charge for codecs such as HEVC but VLC can support it for free? Is it due to anti-competitive, profit, or something like that?

This article explains it: If VLC can ship a free DVD player, why can't Microsoft?

Although this article is from 2012, it still applies to patented codecs.
