Somebody asked the question of whether or not one needs to pay licensing fees
for OpenGL. I'll put this to rest. The answer in general is no. To quote the
OpenGL licensing
agreement:

"Applications developers DO NOT need to license OpenGL. Only system vendors,
peripheral suppliers, or software companies providing an OpenGL development or
run time environment are required to license OpenGL. End users or software
developers writing code based on the OpenGL API use OpenGL free of licensing
requirements. "
