No. Is providing OpenGL breaking the ANSI C standard?

The same reason Alcoa lost their anti-trust case?

The fact that some company loses an anti-trust case says nothing about 
their behavior, in the USA. One of the first lawsuits under the Sherman 
anti-trust act was against Alcoa Aluminum company. They lost, not 
because they did anything wrong, but because the judge said "if you have 
most of the customers, you must be doing something wrong."
