+<h3>Open Shading Language</h3>
+
+<div>
+
+<p>Open Shading Language (OSL) is a small but rich language for programmable
+ shading in advanced global illumination renderers and other applications,
+ ideal for describing materials, lights, displacement, and pattern
+ generation. It uses LLVM to JIT complex shader networks to x86 code at
+ runtime.</p>
+
+<p>OSL was developed by Sony Pictures Imageworks for use in its in-house
+ renderer used for feature film animation and visual effects, and is
+ distributed as open source software with the "New BSD" license. Its project
+ home page is:
