The positive thing about HEVC's royalty licensing mess is that it will drive the adoption of royalty-free video formats like VP9 (http://www.webmproject.org/) and AV1 (http://aomedia.org/). Video on the web will finally be royalty-free just as web protocols and web document and image formats are royalty-free.
