> The HDMI Forum, a nonprofit corporation, is comprised of members whose primary interests are to further the development of HDMI technology.

> AMD graphics card and Linux users are unable to leverage 4K@120Hz or 5K@240Hz via HDMI 2.1

> The issue initially arose back in 2021 when the forum decided to restrict public access

> AMD and the X.Org Foundation have worked with The HDMI Forum to try to come up with a solution — to no avail.

> AMD Linux engineers worked to develop an internal code and sought approval from the forum, which resulted in the rejection.

I think their non-profit status should be looked into...

You won't find much, this group is precisely what a 501(c)(6) is for and almost the entirety of the meager income comes from member dues.

Separate for profit entities rake in the billions of operating the HDMI licensing and are taxed accordingly.

Maybe AMD should just fork the spec, and freely license the result.

Nvidia and AMD already effectively forked the standard when they variable refresh rates. (Monitors supported it for amd or nvidia, but not both.)
