Could someone point me to the license for SGI's version?

If the license does not comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines
(DFSG for short)(*) then the GLU library would have to go in non-free.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I am the Debian maintainer for mesa.

(*)They are basically the same as the Open Source definition, since the
Open Source definition is based on the DFSG. See
http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines for details.
