tarey_g said:OpenGL is not opensource, OpenGL has nothing to do with being opensource afaik . Correct me if i am wrong.
Prakash has no idea what OpenGL is, just that it has the word "Open" so he thinks its open source.
OpenGL is not open source, it is an open Platform graphics API which can work on any platform as long as there is an Client Driver available, If you want to use OpeNGL to make a game you still have to use the pre-provided source code which u cannot modify. If you do, then it will break the cross platform feature set.
Mesa is an Open Source Implementation of OpenGL, & I think prakash has no idea that it was Microsoft, Intel & SGI along with some other companies which made OpenGL
If you use OpenGL to make a game, u still have to pay a licensing fees, just that your game will run anywhere. This is again a closed source API which is closed for good. If it was open Source, we would see 1000 iterations of OpenGL all incompatible with the base architecture.
