But not everything you need for DisplayPort is locked away.
Yes they write at the top here new DIsplayPort standards are locked away. Then the compression, Activesync.... All the bits that you need to implement in userspace/kenrel drivers vesa goes and releases without needing membership.
To make a full DIsplayport device (silicon/circuits) from scratch you need Vista membership. To have the information you need to be able to write a driver to use a Displayport hardware you don't need Vesa membership.
There is bit of a difference here. Lower cost for Vesa membership and Vesa releasing bits of specifications driver developers need. Vesa does not go and release all the bits hardware developers need.
