| // "Successor Specification" section |
| |
| This Specification contains substantially unmodified functionality from, and |
| is a successor to, Khronos specifications including |
| ifdef::VKSC_VERSION_1_0[Vulkan, OpenGL SC] |
| OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenCL. |
| |
| // "Normative Wording" section |
| |
| The Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy defines the terms 'Scope', |
| 'Compliant Portion', and 'Necessary Patent Claims'. |
| |
| Some parts of this Specification are purely informative and so are EXCLUDED |
| the Scope of this Specification. The <<introduction-conventions>> section of |
| the <<introduction>> defines how these parts of the Specification are |
| identified. |
| |
| Where this Specification uses <<introduction-technical-terminology, |
| technical terminology>>, defined in the <<glossary, Glossary>> or otherwise, |
| that refer to enabling technologies that are not expressly set forth in this |
| Specification, those enabling technologies are EXCLUDED from the Scope of |
| this Specification. For clarity, enabling technologies not disclosed with |
| particularity in this Specification (e.g. semiconductor manufacturing |
| technology, hardware architecture, processor architecture or |
| microarchitecture, memory architecture, compiler technology, object oriented |
| technology, basic operating system technology, compression technology, |
| algorithms, and so on) are NOT to be considered expressly set forth; only |
| those application program interfaces and data structures disclosed with |
| particularity are included in the Scope of this Specification. |
| |
| For purposes of the Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy as it |
| relates to the definition of Necessary Patent Claims, all recommended or |
| optional features, behaviors and functionality set forth in this |
| Specification, if implemented, are considered to be included as Compliant |
| Portions. |
| |
| // "Normative References" section |
| |
| Where this Specification identifies specific sections of external |
| references, only those specifically identified sections define |
| <<introduction-normative-references, normative>> |
| functionality. The Khronos Intellectual Property Rights Policy excludes |
| external references to materials and associated enabling technology not |
| created by Khronos from the Scope of this Specification, and any licenses |
| that may be required to implement such referenced materials and associated |
| technologies must be obtained separately and may involve royalty payments. |

| // This is version V10_Feb23 of the Khronos Specification Copyright License |
| // Header, adapted for asciidoc markup and for the specific requirements of |
| // the Vulkan Specification: |
| // |
| // - The "Ratified Specifications" language is surrounding by mutually |
| // exclusive conditional directives, allowing either form to be included |
| // in the output Specifications depending on which extension(s) they are |
| // built with. The non-ratified section includes links to the ratified |
| // Vulkan 1.3 Specifications in the Vulkan Registry. |
| // - The "Successor Specification" section cites OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and |
| // OpenCL. |
| // - The "Normative Wording" section links to the Vulkan Specification |
| // introduction instead of the "[Document Conventions]" placeholder, and |
| // links to sections describing technical terminology and the glossary. |
| // - The "Normative References" section links to the "Normative References" |
| // section of the Specification. |
| // - The trademarks section cites only those trademarks relevant to Vulkan. |
