That's quite likely. Of course, someone trying to install Sage on a S10 box they have lying around is equally [un]likely to have a full install - which means sage needs to verify pre-requisites at install/configure time as well as build time. >I personally believe Sage is on slightly doggy ground with OpenSSL.

But others will no doubt see it differently to me. AFAIK, no-one on this list is a lawyer. Maybe it's time for William to have a talk to Washington Uni's General Counsel. (Or, if that might raise other issues, a chat with some of the School of Law Faculty). -- Peter Jeremy
