And VP8/VP9 has again the same patent issues as h264.

No, not the same patent issues. Google obtained a blanket global license for VP8 and VP9 from MPEGLA.

Wrong. Using VP8/VP9 means you have to accept the Google license, which says it is void as soon as you claim software patents are invalid or sue in court against any of Google’s claims.
