won't sell them to companies that aren't HDCP licensees. They are
bound by the terms of the HDCP Component License Agreement. Even
the distributors that resell them are bound by the HDCP Resller

Nice thought, but it ain't never gonna happen. Have you read the
license agreement?
The whole point of the licensing regime is to attempt to preserve the
integrity of the DRM scheme. OGP products cannot by its nature
possibly meet the Exhibit D "Robustness Rules". Only a very closed
product can qualify.
Then it is a legal issue.
I would also note that if DHCP depends on keeping information other than
the crypto keys secrete then it will fail.
