It is indeed and the fact that I don't care about any of that makes it that much more frustrating. I got bored with piracy nearly two decades ago and just want to implement my own open-source virtual display systems in hardware and gateway I shouldn't need to either cough up thousands of dollars a year or find a copy of a PDF that someone "accidentally" left at a public location in order to do so with an established protocol standard.
