Nvidia Texture Tools has a license on the patent. But implementing their files into other project will lose the license. Only products created by Nvidia itself can use this patent.
That's not how I read https://code.google.com/p/nvidia-texture-tools/wiki/FAQ (specifically last point and second comment below).
FWIW e.g. many games made with Unreal Engine 3 include nvtt.dll.
