+<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:
