now, it so happens in the case of HDMI that you can simply put an

put the *WORD* "HDMI" anywhere on your product, because that has

THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS.
Without a "product" and a "seller" there can be no infringement. A hobby
project can exist and be publicly discussed and documented without being
either a product or sold.
Over and out,

I didn't want to enter this either. But I'd like to clarify that if it's
copyright we're talking about, then having a "product" or "seller"
doesn't matter. It's simply about the making of copies, and unlicensed
copies are forbidden by default regardless of how the copies are used. I
don't like it and disagree with it's whole premise (see onpon4's earlier
comment) but that's how it works.
