| <h2>Disclaimer</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to |
| that of <a href="https://www.opengl.org/">OpenGL</a><sup>[<a href="#trademark">1</a>]</sup>. |
| To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state |
| machine, it is being used with authorization from <a |
| href="https://www.sgi.com/">Silicon Graphics, |
| Inc.</a>(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. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Please do not refer to the library as <em>MesaGL</em> (for legal |
| reasons). It's just <em>Mesa</em> or <em>The Mesa 3-D graphics |
| library</em>. |
