It's not a similar issue, it's the exact same one.  So why do you open
this exactly?

Because the code in Mesa seems to be based on that of glut, but has been modified since it was included.

I've previously contacted the FSF Licensing Lab about this:

"Please be careful not to read the notice any further than it goes.  In
particular: it only applies to what Mark wrote, and it only applies to
whatever code of his existed in libglut when he sent his reply to
Debian.  Nothing anybody else wrote, and nothing that wasn't in libglut
at the time."

Anyway, the next mesa upload won't include glut sources.

Great. Will pointblast.c and spriteblast.c also be gone?
