Mesa (OpenGL)

In computer graphics, Mesa is an open source software implementation of OpenGL, licensed under the MIT License. It seeks to implement OpenGL 1.4. The current version is 6.2.1.

Mesa is particularly used with the Direct Rendering Infrastructure to provide open source support for OpenGL in the X Window System since XFree86 v4.3.

As the name OpenGL is a trademark, Mesa claims only to be a "very similar" interface.

Mesa was initially developed by Brian Paul in August 1993.
