   Maybe you should take this up on slashdot instead.  This isn't
really a good list for conspiracy theories.

   Which article was this, and what proof do they have?  Companies
license technology all the time.  And whenever Microsoft is involved
alot of people start going into hysterics, whether it's justified
or not.  It's silly to talk about what things mean for OpenGL if 
the premise is false.


                                Mark.
