 |
|
After spending half a day working on GLEW yesterday, it dawned on me today that I haven't looked at the license. For some reason I had believed it was under the same license as GLee. Unfortunately, it is not. It is GPL. I refuse to put any GPL code into Derelict. It has it's place, but not here.
I feel silly for not checking sooner. It seems even sillier to make an extension loading library GPL. But, to each his own I suppose. |

No, you are absolutely right. I have my "reservations" about GPL also.
(But it's probably not safe to go into the politics of it here) 
What other solutions are there other than doing the whole thing by hand?

Either putting GLee back in, or just doing nothing  Really, though, it shouldn't be too much work to do it by hand. I had done it already in an earlier revision, so if I pull that code down that's most of the work. Then it's just a matter of deciding whether to load all extensions automatically, or load only core functions up to the current OpenGL version and let the user load any needed extensions manually through a simple interface. |
