Does anyone know what the HDMI forum want to achieve by locking down the spec like this? I can't remember any reasons given back when they decided to restrict publication of future spec updates.
- justinclift 3y ago> Does anyone know what the HDMI forum want to achieve ... Wild arse guess, but it's probably a) as close to absolute control as they can get, and b) security (of some variety) through obscurity
- redeeman 3y agoits already broken, theres ZERO security argument
- weberer 3y agoWell Microsoft is one of the members...
- TechnicalVault 3y agoMicrosoft is pretty pro-Linux these days. I'd say it's some lawyer being overly paranoid.
- prmoustache 3y agoacknowledging you can't make a dent in all markets without linux support != being pro-linux
- account42 3y agoMicrosoft is as pro Linux as the average web company values your privacy. They are pro using Linux where it is profitable. They are not pro Linux getting ahead wherever they can prevent it.
- redeeman 3y agothey are not pro linux desktop usage
- salawat 3y agoHDCP. And protection of a recurring revenue stream.
