12Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
13that of <a href="http://www.opengl.org/" target="_parent">OpenGL</a>.*
14To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state
15machine, it is being used with authorization from <a
16href="http://www.sgi.com/" target="_parent">Silicon Graphics,
17Inc.</a>(SGI). However, the author does not possess an OpenGL license
18from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible
19replacement for OpenGL or associated with SGI. Those who want a
20licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed
21vendor.
22</p>
23
24<p>
25Please do not refer to the library as <em>MesaGL</em> (for legal
26reasons). It's just <em>Mesa</em> or <em>The Mesa 3-D graphics
27library</em>. <br>
