Mode setting API's

[Jon Smirl]

I'm looking at the OpenML spec and it covers the areas that we have been
discussing plus a lot more. But the Khronos Group doesn't appear to be very Open
Source friendly.  It seems that I have to apply for membership and return signed
documents to get a Linux SDK.  But some of their other projects are hosted at
Sourceforge.  What's their intention, are they Open Source or not?
