<H1>Introduction</H1>
<p>
-Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
-that of <a href="http://www.opengl.org/" target="_parent">OpenGL</a>.*
-To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state
-machine, it is being used with authorization from <a
-href="http://www.sgi.com/" target="_parent">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.
+Mesa is an open-source implementation of the
+<a href="http://www.opengl.org/" target="_parent">OpenGL</a> specification -
+a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
</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>. <br>
+A variety of device drivers allows Mesa to be used in many different
+environments ranging from software emulation to complete hardware acceleration
+for modern GPUs.

+Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the
+<a href="http://dri.sf.net/" target="_parent">Direct Rendering Infrastructure</a>
+and <a href="http://x.org" target="_parent">X.org</a> to provide OpenGL
+support to users of X on Linux, FreeBSD and other operating systems.
