HDMI Forum to AMD: No, you can’t make an open source HDMI 2.1 driver

Hollywood execs love their DRM.

Not just widely used, but a monopoly. TVs don’t come with any other ports and now they’re restricting who can use this technology that has no other choice.

There needs to be an antitrust lawsuit against the HDMI forum IMO.

Is it because of the HDMI Forum that we don’t have HDMI-CEC on desktop GPUs?
