Technically AXIOM -- all caps -- isn't owned by any of the projects. I'd prefer to stick to it. At a recent NSF workshop, I spoke with some people directly invoved in making AXIOM open source. From what I understand, the claim that someone other than NAG owns Axiom may be a joke. Furthermore, I also learnt that `Open Axiom' or `OpenAxiom' was the name that was originally proposed. I wasn't aware of that fact. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
