Mesa - 3D graphics library API
July 24th, 2006 by cplus
Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that of OpenGL (OpenGL is a trademark of Silicon Graphics Incorporated). 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. The Mesa distribution consists of several components. Different copyrights and licenses apply to different components. Those who want a licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed vendor.
