-================
-
-The following individuals and groups are to be acknowledged for their
-contributions to Mesa over the years. This list is far from complete and
-somewhat dated, unfortunately.
-
--  Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the `SSEC
-   Visualization Project <https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html>`__
-   at the University of Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for
-   letting him work on Mesa as part of that project.
--  John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in
-   order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very
-   substantial piece of work.
--  Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
-   Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of
-   Mesa.
--  The `Mesa <https://www.mesa3d.org>`__ website and Git repository are
-   hosted by `freedesktop.org <https://freedesktop.org/>`__.
--  `alt.software <https://web.archive.org/web/20131110021426/http://www.altsoftware.com/>`__
-   contributed the Direct3D driver.
--  **Bernd Barsuhn** wrote the evaluator code for (splines, patches) in
-   Mesa.
--  **Bernhard Tschirren** wrote the Allegro DJGPP driver.
--  **Bogdan Sikorski** wrote the GLU NURBS and polygon tessellator in
-   Mesa.
