HLS and SAMPLE-AES royalties and licenses

Hello,
I would like to ask if there are any royalties, patents, licenses that need to be paid for use of HLS technology alongside SAMPLE-AES (Apple Music integration). Unfortunately I cannot find such information anywhere :-(.

I very appreciate your support

Regards
Michal
There are no licenses or fees associated with HLS per se. Specific codecs may have license requirements, but those are independent of HLS.

It is misleading to refer to SAMPLE-AES as "Apple Music Integration". SAMPLE-AES simply refers to the encryption method. It does not specify how or where keys are recovered.
