Maybe AMD should just fork the spec, and freely license the result. Nvidia and AMD already effectively forked the standard when they variable refresh rates. (

- dmitrygr 2y agoYou cannot fork something you do not own the rights to. You'll have as much luck forking Harry Potter as you will forking HDMI.
- crest 2y agoThe question is what prevents someone from coming up with a digital video interface standard just happens to be 100% compatible with HDMI just with a sufficiently different label on the ports similar to "TF flash" instead of "microSD"?
- meepmorp 2y agoBecause all this shit is covered by patents and licensing, and a cutesy defense like "it's totally not HDMI, bro," would make the judge refer your counsel to disciplinary action because of how fucking frivolous it is.

- account42 2y agoIt would be better but definitely not easier as the TV industry is pretty much a subset of the HDMI Forum.
