Using the openGL extention headers and there licenses

Hello everyone I have been looking into using openGL and windows platform

I understand that windows includes gl.h and glu.h along with there SDK and that those headers support openGL 1.1 functions, but in order to use the newer functions of openGL
I must using the headers glext.h, glxext.h, and wglext.h.

Now if I use these, what are the limitations on using them? What are the licenses on them? Can I create and sell a commercial product such as a game or modeling software?
Or will I have to distribute the source or something along those lines?

Thanks!

Did you read those headers? From the tenth line of glext.h:



** Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
** copy of this software and/or associated documentation files (the
** "Materials"), to deal in the Materials without restriction, including

That’s pretty unambiguous.

Hahah wow…

Ok, so basically I can do anything I want (In this case create a commercial product and not give away the source/not give the right to modify my software) right? All I have to do is keep that license in the header file
Or did I read that wrong?

Bascially you just can’t try to prevent anyone else using the headers.

OK, but also what about this line

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
in all copies or substantial portions of the Materials

Where does the openGL license go? Does my software become part of the ‘Materials’?
In my application credits or the equivalent?.. Why would I even bother coding?
Just leave it in the header file?.. seems pointless to even include the original message
In a separate text file named ‘openGL_license.txt’ that states this only applies to the glext.h and other openGL headers?.. It better only apply to the openGL headers or why would I even code with them

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Especially if you have made a commercial application / application for profit
