AMD is part of the forum but can't get them to accept their own open source driver. I guess we can't complain or shame all of them in one. I wonder who voted reject vs accept.
Sad.
Fewer than 80 members. 15k/year membership fee and very lax joining requirements. $1.2M gets you majority allowing you do to whatever even with 100% of current members opposing :P
Then AMD needs to apply more leverage or start an awareness campaign with as much shit PR for every business supporting them.
How hilarious would it be if the AMD board member was the one who veto'd the driver ๐
AMD has had the code ready to include in their open source driver for a while and has been trying to get HDMI Forum to let them release it for a long time https://www.phoronix.com/news/HDMI-2.1-OSS-Rejected
