OpenCL and OpenGL take on DirectX

But I don't see whether they have or haven't licensed the source code
with a GPL-like license or even opened it for inspection. That seems
troublesome.
It even received the blessings of the FSF. It's all good.
Well, that is encouraging.
I gather from Wolfgang's post that the standard is open, but the first
implementation is not. That gives FSF and FOSS makers something to work
on ...
