Quick license question for teapot

[Misha Koshelev]

Dear All:

Sorry to bother - apparently Owen Rudge has done quite a bit of basic
texture work, so I will await his patches to start my texture work.

As for teapot, Henri recommends looking at freeglut. I know wine is:
http://www.winehq.org/license
GPL 2.1

Freeglut is
"freeglut is released under the X-Consortium license."
http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/index.php#download

Just wanted to double check if these are compatible.

Thx
Misha

Well, Wine is LGPL 2.1 or later. I didn't say you *should* look at
freeglut, just that freeglut is probably safer to look at than GLUT.
(Although I also seem to recall the SGI license being made MIT/X11
compatible.)

Actually, it is LGPL 2.1.

I don't know the definite answer to your real question though, and I'll abstain from spreading suspicions :-)

Sorry sorry.

I will be more careful when composing these emails.

And sorry Henri you are right you did say freeglut is safer.

Ok I will stick to the original Newell dataset for the moment.

Assuming 'X-Consortium' is X11, then yes. See for example:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=blob;f=dlls/gdi32/region.c#l26
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=blob;f=server/region.c#l29
