Yeah, I wanted to implement HDMI on an FPGA dev board last year until I found out that I literally couldn't without getting that license.

Isn't it possible to make something that's technically compatible with HDMI as long as you don't call it HDMI, or say it uses HDMI. I've seen different projects go that route, maybe you might be able to as well.

i believe you can use the HDMI standards but you cannot use their branding without license

Yeah that's what I thought.
