Disclaimer
+ ++Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to +that of OpenGL.* +To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state +machine, it is being used with authorization from Silicon Graphics, +Inc.(SGI). However, the author does not possess an OpenGL license +from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible +replacement for OpenGL or associated with SGI. Those who want a +licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed +vendor. +
+ +
+Please do not refer to the library as MesaGL (for legal
+reasons). It's just Mesa or The Mesa 3-D graphics
+library.
