 I'd guess on one of the video card manufacturers. There is no mention of
any hardware companies that Zanshin was working with when he got the court
order but more money would be had from a hardware manufacturer/developer
then from just 3Dfx.

Just think about who is working on 3Dfx and GLQuake compatable cards...
these are the only people that would have anything to do with it. I don't
think that Zanshin was working with SGI though because they are already
working on a full set of OpenGL drivers. To have an outsider do it would be
like saying the company that invented OpenGL can't do anything new with it.

-- just a humble opinion
