The OpenCL spec is being made available royalty-free, and it works across platforms. It was developed to help give software developers a way to write efficient, portable code for high-performance computing environments, and has been developed to work on a wide range of systems from embedded and consumer software to high performance computing cluster.
OpenCL has been modeled after OpenGL, the graphics technology Apple employs in Mac OS X. OpenCL is envisioned as a low-level programming interface -- something that developer tool makers will build upon to create platform-independent software, middleware and applications.

OpenCL 1.0 at a glance
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is the first open, royalty-free standard for general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems. OpenCL provides a uniform programming environment for software developers to write efficient, portable code for high-performance compute servers, desktop computer systems and handheld devices using a diverse mix of multi-core CPUs, GPUs, Cell-type architectures and other parallel processors such as DSPs.

They are not exactly trumpeting the details of the distribution license.
