#27 glu.h may not be distributed
I'd like to have the perl-OpenGL package shipped with openSUSE, but it includes a glu.h that says
Copyright (c) 1985-95, Microsoft Corporation

All Rights Reserved.This is UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY SOURCE CODE of Silicon Graphics, Inc.;

Can it be made to work without this file or with a version under an open source license?
That file should not be needed on linux which should have an open source enabled GLU library already. The perl OpenGL module should use that one and you could delete the one in the CPAN version.
This is not only issue for openSUSE but even from CPAN administrators as they now distribute a code without a permissions of the copyright owner.
It must be fixed by uploading a clean OpenGL distribution to CPAN and removing the old ones from CPAN.
Thanks for the report. Apparently the file in question has been in the distribution since before I was maintainer. I plan on a scrub and re-release with CPAN/backpan clean up as suggested.
