[NEWS] ToGL open sourced

Post by forart »

Valve has released ToGL - a Direct3D-to-OpenGL translation layer - as open source.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/ToGL

Hope that helps, or at least inspires !

It is probably the best we can hope for :) , since
This most likely won't build by itself and is provided as-is and completely unsupported. Feel free to use it for your reference, incorporate it into your projects or send us modifications.

It's under it's own open source license. So, this looks like a 50/50.
Stay frosty, Tony Bark.

I think it's public domain.
Just think of ReactOS as the XP beta, Whistler.

No, it's not. Read the license file. It's a BSD style license, it is NOT public domain.

BSD licence is compatible with GPL (at least in this direction)

So, anyway, is this interesting enough for ROS to incorporate it?

I'd say yes, but as usual, someone have to step-in and do it, so don't expect developers to jump on it right away.

I'd say no, since we already get the same functionality from Wine.

But I wonder if this provides anything that ours doesn't already have.

So I stand corrected, though
Note that this is not an exhaustive review of this code. It's just the
first two things I found in a 2 minute look.
