CD-i FAQ - # 16

Is CD-i proprietary? Do I need a license to produce CD-i discs?

Content developers for CD-i do not need a license. Manufacturers of CD-i players and CD-i discs do need a patent license from Philips. A content developer may obtain the same information package that is received by licensees for a fee of $5000. If they wish only to obtain the CD-i Full Functional Specification (Green Book), they may sign a non-disclosure agreement and pay a fee of US $200.
