French laws don’t recognize software patents so videolan doesn’t either. This is likely a reference to vlc supporting h265 playback without verifying a license. These days most opensource software pretends that the h265 patents and licensing fees don’t exist for convenience. I believe libavcodec is distributed with support enabled by default.
Nearly every device with hardware accelerated h265 support has already had the license paid for, so there’s not much point in enforcing it. Only large companies like Microsoft and Red Hat bother.
Just introducing them to it is probably enough. Show them different desktop environments and applications to get them used to the idea of diverse interfaces and workflows. Just knowing that alternatives exist could help them break out of the Windows monoculture later. Enable all of the cool window effects.
I believe if you’re willing to check the format codes on the video you can download audio only but both will get you the least compressed audio available.
I absolutely love VideoLAN's stance regarding patents (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Is it possible to rip audio from youtube without loss of quality or online conversions?
I read somewhere that it is possible to rip youtube videos (music only) without the need for converting it into an mp3 as such....
