SGI relicenses OpenGL: "A huge gift to the free software community"
09-19-2008 07:30 AM
After nine months, an open secret can finally be acknowledged: The OpenGL code that is responsible for 3-D acceleration on GNU/Linux, which was released by SGI in 1999, has been running on licenses that were accepted by neither the Free Software Foundation (FSF) nor the Open Source Initiative. Today, however, the FSF has announced that the licenses in question, the SGI Free License B and the GLX Public License, have been rewritten after months of negotiation between the FSF and SGI. The problem is now resolved, and the result is a code contribution that the FSF ranks as one of the greatest given to the community by a proprietary company.

GLXFREECONTEXTEXT(3G)						   OpenGL Manual					     GLXFREECONTEXTEXT(3G)

NAME

       glXFreeContextEXT - free client-side memory for imported context

C SPECIFICATION

       void glXFreeContextEXT(Display * dpy, GLXContext ctx);

PARAMETERS

       dpy
	   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       ctx
	   Specifies a GLX rendering context.

DESCRIPTION

       glXFreeContextEXT frees the client-side part of a GLXContext that was created with glXImportContextEXT().  glXFreeContextEXT does not free
       the server-side context information or the XID associated with the server-side context.

       glXFreeContextEXT is part of the EXT_import_context extension, not part of the core GLX command set. If _glxextstring(EXT_import_context)
       is included in the string returned by glXQueryExtensionsString(), when called with argument GLX_EXTENSIONS, extension EXT_vertex_array is
       supported.

ERRORS

       GLXBadContext is generated if ctx does not refer to a valid context.
