How is a commercial license acquired?
If you need a license or would like more information, call John Schimpf at (415)390-3062 or e-mail him at jsch@sgi.com. There are licenses available restricted to site (local) usage, or permitting redistribution of binary code. The limited source license provides a sample implementation of OpenGL for $50,000. The license for commerical redistribution of OpenGL binaries has two most commonly chosen levels. Level 1 costs $25,000. Level 2 costs $100,000, and includes the sample implementation of OpenGL. Both levels require a $5 royalty for every copy of the OpenGL binary, which is redistributed.
