===================================================================
# There was some DFSG license debate about MESA in the past, on Debian bug 131997.
# This was primarily as the original license body did not provide the right to modify.
# Marc Kilgard, the upstream author, ultimately clarified this on the Debian bug:
# http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=131997#71
# Reproduced here below for reference.

| Yes, that's fine.

| Were you the losers that sent me email about a a "bug" filed against
| GLUT's licensee?  I tell that story occasionally as an example of

| Please don't reply and waste my time with your GNU zealotry/stupidity.
