No, you are not, if you had more carefully read my argument. There are three patent pools, and a bunch of non-aligned companies whose patents you also need. HEVC can be properly called out as not having a cap even though some of the patent pools involved have caps. Velos Media, as far as leaks go, is widely believed to have no cap (and they have patents from Qualcomm and Sony, you can't really live without them) - and it is reasonable to believe the privately negotiated deals with the non-pool-affiliated companies (like Technicolor being a big one) also do not have caps. Velos Media's pool is pretty necessary and has no public documentation at all for what it costs. Thus, HEVC can rightly be called a product without caps as far as can be reasonably told, unless you were to privately negotiate with all of the patentholders yourself. In a similar vein, HEVC / Access Advance said that anyone can build an open-source implementation of HEVC for free, but that is useless propaganda because MPEG LA and Velos don't agree.
