This indicates that monitors and TVs might not accept an
unencrypted video signal over HDMI -- that it would have to be HDCP
encrypted.
This is not going to make consumers happy if it is true.
However, SiliconImage makes HDMI transmitters that have HDCP built
in, so if we need this, it is simple.
ain't gonna work, you also need an HDCP key ...
Actually, the chip includes the HDCP keys. IIUC, we would need a
license to purchase the chips. The license costs $15K per year unless
we could get someone to sponsor us.
which we won't be able to have in any case,
We aren't going to do anything wrong so there is no reason that we
shouldn't be able to obtain a license.
If we can't get a license because we are going to fully document our
product to the end user, this would be an interesting issue and we would
have to sue them. I would hope that one of the other foundations (FSF,
EFF, etc.) would help with this as it would be a precedent setting issue
for open source.
