That's a good point. No, HDMI is not open source or very open source friendly. At least with current revisions.

At least with current revisions.

I'm vaguely lead to believe that HDMI's backwards compat with DVI-D (ie why you can have a passive cable from DVI-D to HDMI) means you can use DVI-D signals and an "HDMI-cable compatible" connector. Not sure what this project does however, perhaps it interfaces with pre-made proprietary HDMI logic blocks.
