I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum's decision that I am missing.

Unfortunately, I am — or rather, I am suggesting that Valve be granted a license they can use.

I like open source, but not so much that I'd prefer hardware that already exists be held back a feature because others can't benefit for free.

I'd prefer a workaround.
