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