However, the author does not possess an OpenGL license 18 from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible 19 replacement for OpenGL or associated with SGI. Those who want a 20 licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed 21 vendor. 22 </p> 23 24 <p> 25 Please do not refer to the library as <em>MesaGL</em> (for legal 26 reasons). It's just <em>Mesa</em> or <em>The Mesa 3-D graphics 27 library</em>. <br> 28 </p> 29 30 <p> 31 * OpenGL is a trademark of <a href="http://www.sgi.com/" 32 target="_parent">Silicon Graphics Incorporated</a>. 33 </p> 34 35 36 37 <H1>License / Copyright Information</H1> 38 39 <p> 40 The Mesa distribution consists of several components. Different copyrights 41 and licenses apply to different components. For example, GLUT is copyrighted 42 by Mark Kilgard, some demo programs are copyrighted by SGI, some of the Mesa 43 device drivers are copyrighted by their authors. See below for a list of 44 Mesa's main components and the license for each. 45 </p> 46 <p> 47 The core Mesa library is licensed according to the terms of the MIT license. 48 This allows integration with the XFree86, Xorg and DRI projects. 49 </p> 50 <p> 51 The default Mesa license is as follows: 52 </p> 53 54 <pre> 55 Copyright (C) 1999-2007 Brian Paul All Rights Reserved. 56 57 Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a 58 copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), 59 to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation 60 the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, 61 and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the 62 Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: 63 64 The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included 65 in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. 66 67 THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS 68 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, 69 FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
