    False. The patent license can be revoked only if you engage in patent trolling yourself. For those of us who are not crooks, it is effectively unencumbered.

    WebP and AV1 are patent-encumbered as well.

    Google provides a royalty-free patent license, which can be revoked.

    Similarly, AOMedia has a "royalty-free patent licensing commitment from all AOMedia members", but that doesn't mean that AV1 users won't have to licence patents from non-members.
