The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

You can/should write your congressman (or equivalent in your country). Just the threat that if OSS can't use HDMI congress will open up the laws will get action. In a democracy voters have more power than big money when they care and vote like it.
