I think it should be available in any reasonably current distribution at
this point, see e.g.:

    https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libwebp
    https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libwebp/
    https://guix.gnu.org/packages/libwebp-1.1.0/
    https://software.opensuse.org/package/libwebp

Looking at the dependencies in the various distributions, it seems to be
used by chromium and gimp (hard dependencies in Debian stable/bookworm),
but also e.g. ffmpeg and graphicsmagick.

I should also add that libwebp is BSD licensed.
