While I think that is a nice way of solving the patent problem, but what happen if a patents was responsible for let say 10% of the compression gain, and at a later stage had to be pulled.

Companies who decide on codec had those cost saving in mind. And all of a sudden it is no longer there?

Sometimes I wonder how much does it actually cost to buy all the patents in the current HEVC Pool.
