The problem is that the SIG membership is like $2000 or $3000 per year. That's a lot for Andy, Howard, and me to pay when we haven't sold first product.
I recommend OHF or OGP (I get lost in the alphabet soup) start a funding pool at (e.g.): http://fundable.org for TT to get a vendor ID. This would formalize the process of collecting pledges to pay for the license. I don't really understand the legal issues, though. What does a vendor ID legally mean? Is it a requirement of using the standard, or a matter of convention? If OHF paid for a vendor ID, would it be permissable to use it for any card that used the OGP design/chipset? Or does it really need to be applied to each separate manufacturer? What happens in the industry when a minor card manufacturer uses a major chipset? Does the ID follow the card manufacturer, or the chipset manufacturer?
