The DLMF is not the same as A&S in at least one respect: whereas A&S is a work in the public domain, DLMF is copyrighted. Now one might suppose that the DLMF is a work of a federal agency (NIST) and therefore cannot be copyrighted. The arrangement is this: NIST contracts with the authors (not NIST employees, I gather) to write it, then the authors assign the copyright to NIST. best Robert Dodier -- 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
