Here's why it doesn't matter:

"AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an open, royalty-free video coding format initially designed for video transmissions over the Internet. It was developed as a successor to VP9 by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia),[3] a consortium founded in 2015 that includes semiconductor firms, video on demand providers, video content producers, software development companies and web browser vendors."

Can't be too sure about that: https://sh.itjust.works/post/57524423

The whole patent system should just be abolished. And if we can't achieve that, at least software patents.

Nah, we've seen what happens with patents. from medical, to agriculture, to automotive to software. The system isn't working even slightly as originally intended in almost all scenarios and should be dismantled

“Nah”? You seem to be agreeing

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Maybe the nah was to the just software patents part
