Yes, but if you follow the discussions, the clear consensus was to use SPIR-V. Except Apple, who came up with all kinds of technical reasons not to use it, before eventually admitting they have a legal dispute with Khronos group. Now we get this weird language that is SPIR-V in text form but not by Khronos, and suddenly there is consensus.

- ericflo 7y agoFrom the meeting notes [1]: MS: Apple is not comfortable working under Khronos IP framework, because of dispute between Apple Legal & Khronos which is private. Can’t talk about the substance of this dispute. Can’t make any statement for Apple to agree to Khronos IP framework.
