Hello, a few of us in SIPB are interested in seeing how feasible it is
for us to integrate OpenGL into an XFree86 server running under Linux
or NetBSD, so that we could at least run OpenGL applications which are
available in source form. To do this, we need an OpenGL source
license. According to the comp.graphics.opengl Frequently Asked
Questions document, an internal use license costs only $500 for
universities. The FAQ also lists a contact address of woo@sgi.com.
Can we get some people in ACS to look into this?
Thank you for your time.

Subject: Q14: How does a university or research institution
acquire access to OpenGL source code?
A: There is a university/research institution licensing
program. A university license entitles the institution to
generate binaries and copy them anywhere, so long as nothing
leaves the institution. The OpenGL source and derived
binaries can only be used for non-commercial purposes
on-campus. A university license costs $500 and can be
obtained by contacting woo@sgi.com.
