11 <p>
12 Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
13 that of <a href="http://www.opengl.org/" target="_parent">OpenGL</a>.*
14 To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state
15 machine, it is being used with authorization from <a
16 href="http://www.sgi.com/" target="_parent">Silicon Graphics,
17 Inc.</a>(SGI). However, the author does not possess an OpenGL license
18 from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible
19 replacement for OpenGL or associated with SGI. Those who want a
20 licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed
21 vendor.
22 </p>
24 <p>
25 Please do not refer to the library as <em>MesaGL</em> (for legal
26 reasons). It's just <em>Mesa</em> or <em>The Mesa 3-D graphics
27 library</em>. <br>
