I wrote my e-mail in a kind of hurry. And my English is not good enough to reflect with precision what I had in mind... Let me try to precise it more. One of the main reason I considered the switch from MuPAD to sage is exactly because Sage is now sufficiently big enough that I'm sure It will never be controled by a private company. As far as I know (I'm too young to have witnessed those event), MuPAD and maple as well started as a projet in some university. And at some point they where brought by some private company. And I know for a fact that MuPAD had been under attack by one of those company long before they were fired out by the University of Paderborn. > * Sage is totally immune to what happened to Mupad, since the > copyright ownership of Sage is spread across hundreds of individuals. And I'm very glad for that.
