What does GLFW acronym stand for? http://www.glfw.org/ is the main website, but I cannot find any clue there. Evenhere on SO it has a tag but in the description the acronym is not explained.

I'm going to take a stab at it and say Graphics Library FrameworkIglesias
Actually, the GL portion is for OpenGL. The W is for Window. I'm guessing the F is for Free, but I could be off on the F. Regardless, the library is for facilitating the mixture of OpenGL with a Window context.Preece

Apparently, it used to stand for OpenGL FrameWork--link. I think I prefer some of the alternative interpretations given on the wiki, though.

Wikipedia states "Graphics Library Framework". This makes sense, as GLFW is no longer an OpenGL focuses library, but also supports Vulkan.
