I think that you are confused about Chevie.
There was a 'Maple part of Chevie' written in 1995 which needs maple to
compute Green functions of reductive groups. The other parts of Chevie
(such as braid groups) never needed Maple but only GAP3.
The 'maple part of Chevie' is now obsolete, computations of Green functions
are done in GAP3. Thus:
* Chevie is a purely open source package, needing only GAP3, and readily
* accessible from sage without installing Maple.
Is that clear? Perhaps you would learn some interesting things for you by
browsing the current Chevie manual:
