    @MammaNeedHummus This is a story all about how: HDMI licensing requirements in the embedded world.

    @galena Actually... Say more. You need a licence to do what exactly with HDMI in embedded devices?

    @cprn HDMI, unlike DP, needs to be licensed in order to be able to use any of the HDMI name or logo. According to the HDMI website its 5k$ a year + 1$ per device sold or 10k$ a year. All of this is also kinda murky defined and there seems to be somewhat conflicting information in the internet. So its pretty much necessary to run it through a lawyer wo will very likely be paid a fortune and take forever to give you a concrete answer as to where you need to spend even more money on licenses. Just to not be sued in the long run.

    @galena Fuck me. Literally, I'm kinda on a dry spell. But figuratively as well. Legal, amirite.
