+License and Copyright
+=====================
+
+Disclaimer
+----------
+
+Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that
+of `OpenGL <https://www.opengl.org/>`_ [1]_.
+To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state
+machine, it is being used with authorization from `Silicon Graphics,
+Inc. <https://www.sgi.com/>`__\ (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.
+
+Please do not refer to the library as *MesaGL* (for legal reasons). It's
+just *Mesa* or *The Mesa 3-D graphics library*.
+
+.. [1] OpenGL is a trademark of `Silicon Graphics
+       Incorporated <https://www.sgi.com/>`__.

+The core Mesa library is licensed according to the terms of the MIT
