Just asking to get a better understanding of the process:

If there was a single "will not license" declaration regarding H.264, no 
matter how flimsy the claim, then H.264 would be automatically "formally 
unlicensable" as well?

This sounds like a dangerous loophole to let any party block basically 
anything and I hope there are provisions in place to mitigate such 
scenarios.
