I read their web-page just then. As they want to get a patent-free codec, I believe they can't use the reference frame more than 2 and the 10bits technology. The multiple reference frame is patented by Thomas Wiegand for a company many years ago while the 10bits technology is strictly patented in almost all big countries by Toshiba. I ever read the two patents files downloaded from the eu patent web-site.
