SGI initially created OpenGL, yes.
At the present time 3DLabs is the primary driving force behind the extension to the OpenGL 2.0 specification however.

After I read the article, I noticed another with John Carmack commenting on Open GL 2.0 .

This is what John had to say:


?A GL2 driver won't give any theoretical advantage over the current back ends optimized for cards with 7+ texture capability, but future research work will almost certainly be moving away from the lower level coding practices, and if some new vendor pops up (say, Rendition back from the dead) with a next-gen card, I would strongly urge them to implement GL2 instead of proprietary extensions.?
