Recalling from reading the Debian bug report that started this whole thing, this
covers GLX (server side), I believe, at least as far as non-DFSG-free code
already in the server. Mesa is a clean(ish)*-room implementation of the OpenGL
client-side.


* I'm pretty sure that as SGI has freed code under a suitable license it has
been absorbed into Mesa. At any rate, the days of license problems with SGI's
OpenGL code are fast becoming history.
