I noticed OpenGL 3 was mentioned in news 23.
Unfortunately it will probably take a decade for Open Graphics to
implement OpenGL 3.

- From the OpenGL 3 update posted at opengl.org by Barthold Lichtenbelt
(the OpenGL ARB working group chair):
"S3TC is a required texture compression format"

The S3TC patent expires in 2017.

Unless the S3TC requirement is dropped from the final OpenGL 3 spec Open
Graphics will not be able to legally support OpenGL 3 for a long time.
