Stefan, I'm not sure if I understand your argument on freedom-denying code. I'm not intending to violate any licence (Ex. GPL which incidentally libhdcp does violate for A80 soc). Neither am I trying to distribute binary drivers. Even the HDCP algorithm is open, just that the keys are not intended to be public. The only problem is the 3rd party requirement that proprietary video content(which is already encrypted at source) should be transmitted further only in encrypted form. How is that a denial for freedom? Surely, you are not saying that proprietary content should never be transmitted using any open source product.
