H.266/VVC is due to be ratified in October 2020, that will provide a large compression advantage over AV1. If the creator of XVC wants to make some money then he should patent any tools that are great that he has created then submit those tools to the MPEG-LA for inclusion in the H.266/VVC standard. He could earn a decent amount from that and a lot of people would benefit due to how widespread the codec will be.
