Alex Deucher:

The HDMI Forum has rejected our proposal unfortunately. At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.

Hdmi is a proprietary format controlled by companies that sell hdmi equipment. They have no benefit to having an open standard. They pay $15k a year each to keep it closed.

DIsplayPort is also a proprietary format, just a bit less exclusive compared to HDMI. Ideally, we’d have an actual open standard. If DisplayPort wants to be that standard, they should be more open.
