+> #### The born of AV1
+>
+> Early 2015, Google was working on [VP10](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP9#Successor:_from_VP10_to_AV1), Xiph (Mozilla) was working on [Daala](https://xiph.org/daala/) and Cisco open-sourced its royalty-free video codec called [Thor](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-fuldseth-netvc-thor-03).
+>
+> Then MPEG LA first announces annual caps for HEVC (H265) 8 times higher than H264 but soon after it releases new rules:
+> * **no annual cap**,
+> * **content fee** (0.5% of revenue) and
+> * **per-unit fees about 10 times higher than h264**.
+>
+> Then the [alliance for open media](http://aomedia.org/about-us/) was created by companies from hardware manufacturer (Intel, AMD, ARM , Nvidia, Cisco), content delivery (Google, Netflix, Amazon), browser maintainers (Google, Mozilla) and many more interested companies.
+>
+> The companies have a common goal, a royalty-free video codec and then AV1 was born with a much [simpler patent license](http://aomedia.org/license/patent/). **Timothy B. Terriberry** did an awesome presentation, which is the source of this section, about the [AV1 conception, license model and its current state](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzPaldsmJbk).
+>
+> You'll be surprised to know that you can **analyze the AV1 codec through your browser**, go to: http://aomanalyzer.org/
