3D News, GL, DirectX SGI and the Khronos Group published a new license for OpenGL. "The license, which now mirrors the free X11 license used by X.Org, further opens previously released SGI graphics software that has set the industry standard for visualization software and has proven essential to GNU/Linux and a host of applications." New new license is shorter than the the FreeB license in version 1.1, which wasn't an Open Source license.

Some how, every time a company is about to die it releses its code under the GPL license.

Not a surprise since DirectX has been the king of graphics for programmers.
