It also applies even if Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. The above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you because your country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages.

Sonnet uses the following 3rd party items under these licenses

OpenGL

OpenGL Licensing Programs

Application developers do not need to license the OpenGL API. Generally, hardware vendors that are creating binaries to ship with their hardware are the only developers that need to have a license. If an application developer wants to use the OpenGL API, the developer needs to obtain copies of a linkable OpenGL library for a particular hardware device or machine. Those OpenGL libraries may be bundled with the development and/or run-time options or may be purchased from a third-party software vendor without licensing the source code or use of the OpenGL trademark.

The following are the currently available licenses:

• Open source license, for use of the S.I. This is a Free Software License B closely modeled on BSD, X, and Mozilla licenses.
• Trademark License, for new licensees who want to use the OpenGL trademark and logo and claim conformance. This license is available free of charge if you are developing open source implementations on open source platforms. For closed source licenses or licenses on proprietary platforms, a charge will be associated with a trademark license.

As an added note, past Level 3 licensees could distribute modified OpenGL source code only to either level 2 or level 3 licensees. With release of the S.I. to open source, SGI has relaxed this requirement to some extent. Provided the distributor (a current level 3 licensee) is willing to sign a Retro Agreement with SGI and change the copyrights on the code to the open source copyrights (and then submit the code to SGI for inspection), the distributee does not have to be a level 2 or level 3 licensee. If the Distributor chooses not to do the preceding, then the distributee must become a level 2 Licensee.

New open source licenses of the OpenGL S.I. can freely distribute source and modified source within the liberal terms of the open source license.
Note Licenses for Windows® platforms ARE obtained directly from Microsoft. Developers should send an e-mail to ihv@microsoft.com with the words line 3-D Graphics DDK Licenses in the subject line.

In the past, licenses included source code (depending upon the license) and documentation. Currently, all the source code is available as open source and the documentation is available on the opengl.org website. So licenses now convey rights and have no deliverables associated with them.
