  11 and licenses apply to different components.  For example, GLUT is copyrighted
  12 by Mark Kilgard, some demo programs are copyrighted by SGI, some of the Mesa
  13 device drivers are copyrighted by their authors.  See below for a list of
  14 Mesa's components and the copyright/license for each.

  48 When contributing to the Mesa project you must agree to relinquish your
  49 work to the holder of the copyright for the particular component you're
  50 contributing to.  That is, you can't put your own copyright on the code,
  51 unless it's a modular piece that can be omitted from Mesa (like a new
  52 device driver).  If for example, you contribute a bug fix to Mesa's
  53 texture mapping code, your code will become a part of the body of work
  54 which is copyrighted by Brian Paul and licensed by the above terms.
