From the MPEGLA:

Hi, Rich.

Good to hear from you as always.

VLC player is treated the same as any other product: it needs to be
licensed under essential patents for each video codec as well as any
other technologies it contains. To the extent it is not so licensed,
the product's provider along with anyone in the product chain is left
with patent infringement liability.

Best regards,

Dean
