At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.

A couple of years ago, I hooked up my laptop to a monitor and to watch a movie from a streaming service. Since the monitor (a budget AOC model) didn't support HDCP, it didn't play.

Here's the amazingly sophisticated hack I used to get it working: Instead of using the monitor as an additional display, I mirrored the laptop screen to it. Millions of dollars developing DRM defeated by a single key stroke.

Sounds like screen mirroring from laptop should be outlawed. Think of the shareholders!
