  <p class="h3 mt-5">
    Skia is an open source 2D graphics library which provides common APIs that
    work across a variety of hardware and software platforms. It serves as the
    graphics engine for Google Chrome and Chrome OS, Android, Flutter, Mozilla
    Firefox and Firefox OS, and many other products. Skia is sponsored and managed
    by Google, but is available for use by anyone under the BSD Free Software
    License. While engineering of the core components is done by the Skia
    development team, we consider contributions from any source.
