Nvidia uses their own GLX, so they put "NVIDIA corporation" in the string. Everyone else uses the GLX initially made by SGI. SGI was a vendor of highend graphics workstations, they played an important role in OpenGL standardization. Lately they're more into supercomputing than graphics. GLX is included in the Mesa tarball. You could change the vendor string in /src/glx/x11/glxcmds.c (currently :static const char __glXGLXClientVendorName[] = "SGI";).
