Microsoft claims rights to Opengl

[BD231]

Link

OpenGL, a widely used cross-platform graphics standard, may be subject to more restrictive licensing following recent claims by Microsoft that it owns patents to technology critical to the specification. While it is as yet unclear how Microsoft intends to pursue its claims, the matter underscores the increasing difficulty of creating high-tech industry standards of all kinds, particularly those that are intended to be widely available and royalty-free.

Microsoft is at it again

Oh lord...I just can't believe this. I don't think any company in history has been as aggressive and shark-like as Microsoft. They just seem to try and make a buck EVERYWHERE.
I wonder when we'll get to see Microsoft food.

This "repost" thing with letters in bold is really getting lame. Grow up guys, just say so if it's a repost and post a link. You're just bumping reposts.

I'll say, I've been wondering just what in the h*ll the bold letter's were about in a bunch of thread's I saw. Sorry for the repost, didn't think this was an "off topic" worthy post.
