SGI Further Opens its OpenGL ContributionsSGI Further Opens its OpenGL ContributionsPosted Sep 19, 2008 20:29 UTC (Fri) by ballombe (subscriber, #9523)Parent article: SGI Further Opens its OpenGL Contributions
This is awesome. Important bits of Mesa are covered by the GLX license and the SGI license B and they were about the last known bits of non-free software that slipped in Debian 4.0. Now they are gone without even having to update the packages since the license change apply to all versions.
(The relevant Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/368559> and was reported five years ago)

I'm glad Jim Gettys (and others) prevailed in getting this sensible revision pushed through. Props to SGI! I expect Mark Kilgard is grumbling about how unnecessary it all is.
