Indeed, that's irritating. What exactly does NSF mean? Do they mean (1) "no fund for software that competes economically with existing commercial software" (Sage doesn't, because it is free as in beer), or do they mean (2) "no fund for software development that competes quality-wise with existing commercial software"? I could understand if NSF doesn't want to fund software developers that want to make money by competing with commercial CAS. But I could not understand if they denied their support to non-commercial high- quality software projects.
