20Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
Andreas Bolla73c59b2012-09-18 19:31:28 +020021that of <a href="http://www.opengl.org/">OpenGL</a>.*
Brian4d864b02007-04-04 09:33:12 -060022To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state
23machine, it is being used with authorization from <a
Andreas Bolla73c59b2012-09-18 19:31:28 +020024href="http://www.sgi.com/">Silicon Graphics,
Brian4d864b02007-04-04 09:33:12 -060025Inc.</a>(SGI). However, the author does not possess an OpenGL license
26from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible
27replacement for OpenGL or associated with SGI. Those who want a
28licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed
29vendor.

33Please do not refer to the library as <em>MesaGL</em> (for legal
34reasons). It's just <em>Mesa</em> or <em>The Mesa 3-D graphics
35library</em>. <br>
