According to the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), Apple’s Mini DisplayPort will be included in the upcoming DisplayPort 1.2 specification and will allow other manufacturers to incorporate the ports into their products.
Apple introduced the miniaturized port as part of their new MacBooks and MacBook Pros and expects to adopt it in all future products. Apple offered the mini DisplayPort as a no-fee license to third parties while the specification was undergoing approval by VESA.
The incorporation of the design into the official DisplayPort spec should alleviate any concerns that Apple had too much ownership over the technology.
