+<p>
+Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
+that of <a href="http://www.opengl.org/" target="_parent">OpenGL</a>.*
+To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state
+machine, it is being used with authorization from <a
+href="http://www.sgi.com/" target="_parent">Silicon Graphics,
+Inc.</a>(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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please do not refer to the library as <em>MesaGL</em> (for legal
+reasons). It's just <em>Mesa</em> or <em>The Mesa 3-D graphics
+library</em>. <br>
