Introduction

-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. +Mesa is an open-source implementation of the +OpenGL specification - +a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.

-Please do not refer to the library as MesaGL (for legal -reasons). It's just Mesa or The Mesa 3-D graphics -library.
+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.

-* OpenGL is a trademark of Silicon Graphics Incorporated. +Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the +Direct Rendering Infrastructure +and X.org to provide OpenGL +support to users of X on Linux, FreeBSD and other operating systems.
