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> 28</p> 29 30<p> 31* OpenGL is a trademark of <a href="http://www.sgi.com/" 32target="_parent">Silicon Graphics Incorporated</a>. 33</p> 34 35 36 37<H1>License / Copyright Information</H1> 38 39<p> 40The Mesa distribution consists of several components.
