The only viable option I can see at this point is to not ship software that requires royalty-requiring codecs, and instead tell users to install it as a flatpak from Flathub. Flathub moved away from OpenH264 for similar reasons.
Flathub has its own problems, but they all pale in comparison to remote code execution.
