No, Ready Technology have packaged the codecs based on Intel's IPP code. The codecs link against Intel's IPP libraries. The code here is a diff and other material to compile the codecs once you've downloaded the IPP libraries. It will then produce a binary. To download Intel's libraries you need to agree to their licensing terms. To utilise the codecs you still need to pay a royalty fee to Sipro (as is clearly stated on the site). There are some pre-built binaries held on servers were the patents don't apply, however utilising those binaries on a system in a country where they do apply means you have to pay royalties. If you look it's the patches which are distributed under GPL, not the actual code itself.
