Oh, I wasn't aware, can you tell me in what way, for AOM it's about patenting parts of the codec that have been developed by its participants, what about them?

HEVC is also a patended codec. Also it's proprietary too and they're even more closed than AV1

Is AV1 closed?

I ask it as a genuine question, I'm not saying that you are wrong, but I thought it was open & royalty-free.

It's royalty-free and closed. So it's free to use but it's not free as in you have the freedom to do with it whatever you want.
