So, we already explicitly include ffmpeg and mpv in the multimedia 
packagegroup in meta-arago-distro. Since ffmpeg and libav may include some 
codecs with questionable patent statuses, they are marked as "commercial" 
and need to be allowed explicitly, which we do in arago.conf with the 
corresponding LICENSE_FLAGS_ACCEPTED. That simply allows building those 
packages, but whether the corresponding codecs are enabled or not is 
determined by their PACKAGECONFIGs.

https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-arago/tree/meta-arago-distro/conf/distro/arago.conf#n149
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/licenses.html#enabling-commercially-licensed-recipes

And I'd think for meta-arago-test layer it would be even easier, as it is not 
expected to be used for production. And we can set LICENSE_FLAGS_ACCEPTED in 
its layer.conf to make it work with other Distros besides Arago.
