XGl was first a closed source technology developed by Novell. It was then open sourced, but even if for all people out there, it does 'the 3d cube', the inner details are different. AIXGL is completely opensourced from the start, and fully integrated into Xorg 7.1 where Xgl was a complete rewrite of the X server which was _then_ open sourced. AIXGL is what is shipped in RHEL 5. not Xgl. Get the facts right.
