From what I understand, the claim that > someone other than NAG owns Axiom may be a joke. The only hard, independent evidence I have seen on the issue is the TESS database the USPTO maintains: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=login&p_lang=english&p_d=trmk - the only two entries I get for Numerical AND AXIOM are both listed as dead. I'm not an expert of course, so the folks at NAG may know something I don't. > Furthermore, I also learnt that `Open Axiom' or `OpenAxiom' was the > name that was originally proposed. I wasn't aware of that fact. Interesting. CY ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
