"3D Rendering" it is. Simple and descriptive.

Also... too much?

Believe me, I like OpenGL way more... however it *is* trademarked,
(http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4002:6j28n.2.1)
and we *are* opening ourselves up to legal issues leaving it in
without the approval of the Khronos Group / SGI.
I'm guessing BeOS had a license with SGI, so it wasn't a big deal
for them.
Since we now pretty much comply with the OpenGL trademark (as we
don't mention it), we now have the ability go to the Khronos group
and try to get their blessing to use the OpenGL trademark.
However as Mesa isn't allowed to use the OpenGL name... it's
unlikely we would be able to.
