Khronos Adopters
There are two ways which an individual or company can make use of the Khronos developed Technologies:
Implementers
for no cost or license fees:
- You may create and deliver a product using the publicly released specifications and technologies
- You may *not* claim that it is "compliant" unless they enter and pass conformance testing
- If the product is a software or hardware engine, you may not advertise it using the Khronos API technology logos or trademarks
Use of any Khronos trademark, including logos and the names of Khronos specifications in text form is subject to the official Khronos Trademark Guidelines.
Adoption/Conformance Testing
for a fee and under legal agreement, you may:
- Download and run the conformance tests and *if the implementation passes, you may*
- Advertise and promote the product as being "compliant" using the technology logos and trademarks under a royalty-free license according to the official Khronos Trademark Guidelines
- Gain Access to:
- the Conformance Tests source code
- any sample implementations
- the Adopters technical Mailing list; a private priority channel for 2-way interaction with Khronos Member developers who can offer feedback and modifications to the specification, as well as feedback on conformance tests
- Use the technology logo in printed marketing or packaging materials of the product
- Use the technology logo in the actual software application startup screens
- Receive a company listing on the Adopting Members with Conformant Products pages
- Adopter's applications may be promoted on the Khronos web site and other activities.
