Gimme a break. Mesa has lived and grown within similar constraints
for years and is quite well - it can be called "an implementation
of the OpenGL API", it just can't be called "OpenGL".
The key to any successfull "taillight Open Source" project
are public, complete specs. Mesa is built using the OpenGL
specs provided by SGI, and Sun seems to be willing to provide
the Java specs needed for Japhar/Classpath etc. One can always
ask for more, but one might rather ask Microsoft for specs
that'd help the Wine developers.
Isn't there an "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" by now for these threads?
