Microsoft claim shakes graphics world (ZDNet)
[Posted July 11, 2002 by cook]
According to ZDNet, Microsoft
is claiming ownership of several patents on technologies
that are used in the OpenGL graphics standard.
"
Microsoft clarified its claims somewhat at this month's quarterly ARB meeting, according to the meeting's minutes, but its proposals still appear likely to throw a wrench in the works of OpenGL, according to legal experts. At the July meeting, Microsoft also added that it may have claims to a technology called fragment shading."
