PyOpenGL 2.0 Licenses

PyGLUT License

Forward Note: This forward is for informational purposes only.

The PyOpenGL project on SourceForge was started by David Ascher, previous maintainer of the PyOpenGL package, to further development of the binding while David was unable to continue such development. At the time of the project's start, PyOpenGL was version 1.5.5. You can find this version of the package on the downloads page of the project.

Because of this history, there are two licenses which pertain to the library, both of which are "BSD Style" licenses (though with minor variations in wording).

For all versions up to and including 1.5.5, the PyOpenGL 1.5.5 License is applicable.

For all versions greater than 1.5.5, both the PyOpenGL 1.5.5 License and the PyOpenGL 1.5.6 License are applicable.

For all versions of PyOpenGL greater than or equal to 2.0 the following licenses also apply

Note: earlier versions of the 2.0 series mistakenly suggested that the SGI Free Software License B applied to them. The interface files are, indeed, based partly on the GL.h and GLU.h header files, but as the information provided in those files (as limited to that provided in the interface files) is a mere statement of fact, it shouldn't be considered a copyrightable body of work.

If you have licensing questions regarding the PyOpenGL project, please contact the PyOpenGL developers.
