The Mesa 3D Graphics Library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Disclaimer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
|
||
|
|
that of [1]OpenGL.* To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command
|
||
|
|
syntax or state machine, it is being used with authorization from
|
||
|
|
[2]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.
|
||
|

License / Copyright Information
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Mesa distribution consists of several components. Different
|
||
|
|
copyrights and licenses apply to different components. For example, the
|
||
|
|
GLX client code uses the SGI Free Software License B, and some of the
|
||
|
|
Mesa device drivers are copyrighted by their authors. See below for a
|
||
|
|
list of Mesa's main components and the license for each.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The core Mesa library is licensed according to the terms of the MIT
|
||
|
|
license. This allows integration with the XFree86, Xorg and DRI
|
||
|
|
projects.
