I won't have time today, but I can I'll put updated sources on mathaction this week. Note that the license there is GPL, I explicitly gave permission only to the version included in wh-sandbox. This permission does cover bugfixes, of course. I would like to think about the benefits and drawbacks of a specific license, before I make a decision. > Sooner or later we will have to focus on only one fork of Axiom or > another... :-( Yes, and currently, there is really no fork I like. I *did* like the structure of the axiom project before the forks, though. Four interesting branches with different goals and ways to achieve them, but discussion on only one place. But maybe we could at least concentrate the algebra discussion at one place.
