Hi, Unfortunately, I looked at the new OEIS end user license. Very, very sadly, redistributing the above file is a blatant violation of these terms (see Section 2, number 2). So Mike, please remove it at some point so I don't get into trouble. (I doubt they are going to do anything right now.) http://oeis.org/wiki/The_OEIS_End-User_License_Agreement <rant> I think this is a very, very sad direction for OEIS to have gone in, with Sloane passing it off under such terms. It's really a shame. Wikipedia has provided a vastly better example in how to make data available. It might even be the case that the sloane_sequences file in Sage, if it were to a grow a bit, would violate the terms. </rant> I wonder if the OEIS used to be available under a different license, or maybe Sloane just didn't worry about licenses? If it did used to be available under different terms? I encourage people to read the terms here http://oeis.org/wiki/The_OEIS_End-User_License_Agreement to make sure I'm not misunderstanding them. And if you're the sort of person (like me), who has contributed to OEIS, to think twice before doing so in the future. -- William -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
