I, as a german speaking, can see no humor in that post you link to. And I had difficulty "getting" William's humour in the past already several times. (Even though I lived in a british family in Australia for one year as an exchange student. My english is far from perfect, but I'd be surprised if the english of *all* others on sage-devel is better than mine.) That said, I would like to make it clear that in no way I endorse software patents, or as a matter of fact, any patents at all. Change of topic :-) Reading Section 8, I gather sage has no interest in FriCAS abilities in differential algebra? I'd be interested to know, because I was going to put in some effort, specifically, symbolic treatment of ADE's and recurrences.
