    VESA requires an annual membership fee to access the DP standard. Perhaps that’s fine but that makes regular people unable to “open” the door to the standard. VESA has in the past claimed implementing DP can mean you own them royalty fees but they apparently backed down from that.

    Implementation of Content ““Protection”” isn’t in the spirit of an open standard to me, rather the opposite. Why have an open standard if not to weed-out corporate anti-features from existence for the benefit of the users?
