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.

Their contacts are most likely protected by NDAs, but they're also written by lawyers who know how to close loopholes. There's no way a SIG like the HDMI forum would allow members to release compatible products without following the rules.

Even if it isn't covered by the contract, the other members could hold a vote to remove AMD from the forum.
