This covers GPL'd editors and compilers.  Sage is neither.  The Sage
notebook can be used as a code/latex/html editor, but that is not how
most people use it.  Sage is also:

1.  A Python package
2.  A custom language syntax
3.  An execution environment/runtime environment
4.  A distribution of various software
5.  A multi-user collaboration platform

Cheers,
