Research direction

The issue does not identify any files, tests, or entry points. First determine how opencv-python builds and distributes its binaries, then clarify the licensing and FFmpeg, x264, and x265 packaging requirements before implementation; done means the requested GPL binary variant is produced and distributed correctly.
