The Debian bug report was about the glut package, and its 
debian/copyright file was updated with the "Yes, that's fine" statement. 
Our bug report is about the mesa package, which at first glance seems to 
contain much of the same code. However, its debian/copyright doesn't 
contain the statement. It just says "Mark's license" for the GLUT part.

Anyway, I've sent an email to address@hidden about it.
