ARB_texture_float:
|
||||
|
||||
Silicon Graphics, Inc. owns US Patent #6,650,327, issued November 18,
|
||||
2003 [1].
|
||||
|
||||
SGI believes this patent contains necessary IP for graphics systems
|
||||
implementing floating point rasterization and floating point
|
||||
framebuffer capabilities described in ARB_texture_float extension, and
|
||||
will discuss licensing on RAND terms, on an individual basis with
|
||||
companies wishing to use this IP in the context of conformant OpenGL
|
||||
implementations [2].
|
||||
|
||||
The source code to implement ARB_texture_float extension is included
|
||||
and can be toggled on at compile time only by those who purchased
|
||||
a license from SGI, or are in a country where the patent does not
|
||||
apply.
|
||||
|
||||
The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express
|
||||
or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of
|
||||
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement.
|
||||
In no event shall the authors or copyright holders be liable for any
|
||||
claim, damages or other liability, whether in an action of contract,
|
||||
tort or otherwise, arising from, out of or in connection with the
|
||||
software or the use or other dealings in the software.
|
||||
|
||||
You should contact a lawyer or SGI's legal department if you want to
|
||||
enable this extension.
