Other projects (Mesa, several other OpenGL bindings, ...) simply use the documentation rather unchanged, but obviously don't care about legal issues. The HOpenGL-GLUT docs are *not* simply a cut-n-paste job, the API is quite different from the C API, so I finally got a bit fed up with this legal issue... >:-(
At some point, someone managed to contact Mark, and got a statement allowing to modify and distribute libglut out of him: http://www.fifi.org/doc/glutg3-dev/copyright But unfortunately Mark didn't respond to my inquiry regarding the docs. :/
Perhaps I should nuke the above passage from the documentation and replace it with credits to Mark.
If you can (legally) do so, that would be fine! Otherwise I'd have to pull HOpenGL from Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/171151 , for reference).
