copyright license to use and reproduce the unmodified specification for any purpose,

This specification contains substantially unmodified functionality from, and is a
successor to, Khronos specifications including OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenCL.
Some parts of this Specification are purely informative and do not define requirements
necessary for compliance and so are outside the Scope of this Specification. These
parts of the Specification are marked by the "`Note`" icon or designated "`Informative`".
Where this Specification uses terms, defined in the Glossary or otherwise, that refer to
enabling technologies that are not expressly set forth as being required for compliance,
those enabling technologies are outside the Scope of this Specification.
Where this Specification uses the terms "`may`", or "`optional`", such features or
behaviors do not define requirements necessary for compliance and so are outside the
Scope of this Specification.
Where this Specification uses the terms "`not required`", such features or
behaviors may be omitted from certain implementations, but when they are included, they
define requirements necessary for compliance and so are INCLUDED in the Scope of this
Specification.
Where this Specification includes normative references to external documents, the
specifically identified sections and functionality of those external documents are in
Scope. Requirements defined by external documents not created by Khronos may contain
contributions from non-members of Khronos not covered by the Khronos Intellectual
Property Rights Policy.
