    there is no problem with membership. redhat has access to cts and has nouveau developers. the only problem is with manpower - someone has to fix all cts failures

      Ok. But I don't see how the document prevents OpenGL implementations from reporting version 4.4 to OpenGL applications.
      You have document for that too... see point 3 bolded one

        Thing is and point of this is - there is no unconformant OpenGL 4.4, when someone officialy wanna say i have OpenGL 4.4 that automatically also means it is conformant.

        Unofficialy you can do whatever you want as always, to the point of even inventing your own graphic API and of course name it as you wish.

          Maybe we can ask Khronos "could only we apply to pass CTS without paying?"

          Whatever, user alone can just override it if he wants, in similar way as building mesa with texture-float or using s3tc lib...

            From the PDF documents mentioned in this discussion it seems that Mesa will need to pay the fee if it wants glxinfo to output "OpenGL core profile version string: 4.4 (Core Profile) Mesa ...".
            I emailed the Khronos President who I communicate with regularly to try to get some clarification and if the open-source implementations would have any exemption... Did it this morning, waiting to hear back.

              What about a indiegogo found raising?

                Thanks for that. Interested in knowing the reply.

                  Reading your quoted passage, especially
                  enable an Adopter to submit an unlimited number of products for that API (and any earlier versions as indicated in the table below).
                  I don't see why there would be the need to pay the fee for the Intel and the r600/radeonsi driver.
                  AMD and Intel already payed those fees (for their hardware and for their windows drivers, AMD also for their amdgpu-pro driver).
                  Since they both work actively on the project, they can advertise it towards Kronos as one of their products and submit it for confirmation.

                  It's a bit different for Nouveau, since (to my knowledge), Nvidia doesn't take part here, at least not actively.

                    Right, hence the "already do".
