However, the author does not possess an OpenGL license 19 from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible 20 replacement for OpenGL or associated with SGI. Those who want a 21 licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed 22 vendor. 23 </p> 24 25 <p> 26 Please do not refer to the library as <em>MesaGL</em> (for legal 27 reasons).
