One thing I should note is that it's always possible for Traversal to
add a small piece of logic to our design that we all agree that we
can't legally open. That means anyone else who wishes to implement
our design will have to design their own replacement piece of logic.
So, it's not great, but we can do it. In the GPL'd version, what
you'll get is an empty stub module in place of whatever logic we would
otherwise include in order to implement HDCP.
IIUC from SiliconImages's web site, the complete implementation of HDCP
is in their transmitter chip. There is an I2C connection to the chip
which I presume can turn HDCP on and off.
I don't see right off how this could work with your suggestion unless
they (or another company) sell pin compatible chips both with and
without HDCP.
