What makes you think Apple won't find some way of charging for this in the future?No longer will Mac OS X suffer the handicap of being the only platform where you have to pay extra to get Hardware OpenGL Support in XFree86. Apple released the FULL FREE VERSION of XFree86 to the public...
It was payware only on ours (Mac OS X) because of Tenon's criminal racketeering.
Apple is giving it away to restore that parity of X11 freedom to our platform.
Tenon harmed the Mac OS X platform by driving people away.
Why choose Mac if X11 with HW OpenGL is payware when it's free everywhere else?
Don't think it's a joke...
Wintel took over because the stupid consumer wanted to save FIFTY DOLLARS.
They handicapped themselves beyond imagination for a tiny savings.
Apple released "X11 for Mac OS X" to stop the hemorrhaging.
I kept seeing all over the net where software companies
were advising their customers to avoid the Mac platform
because our X11 doesn't have Hardware OpenGL support... we're lesser/deficient.
On and on I kept reading ways people were discounting OS X for this reason.
Tenon needs to pay a penalty for the damage
they did with this criminal racketeering.
Okay, Apple pulled the bully off of us... that's great
but the bully needs to go to prison now and pay a penalty.
