Mesa 1

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 .
* OpenGL is a trademark of Silicon Graphics Incorporated.
